offshoring US to Europe costs about $30/hr, 1/2 time work means many context switches so 1/2 efficiency and it can take a few tries to fight the right person, so if FTE for 6+ months not affordable i am concerned that this is not going to give you the outcome you want (and be painful for both you and the freelancer), recommend trying to find an advisor who has successfully done this before to reduce risk
- iforgotmypass 3y agoNot sure where did you get this number. $45/hr was the standard expected rate for software development houses and agencies 7 years ago in Eastern Europe. So now it probably is around $70-80/hr. For $30/hr you could get a talented junior freelancing, if you're lucky. But that comes at the cost of quality and efficiency, which offsets the savings from the seemingly lower rate considerably.
- dns_snek 3y agoOP is seemingly open to the idea of hiring individual freelancers. If they can skip the middleman (agency), that rate effectively doubles (From what I've seen, the developers working for the agency get paid around half of what the client pays).
