It's really hard to find good contracts. You have to know people building stuff that understand the value that you're providing.
With platforms like Upwork it's really hard to compete with lower-cost devs.
I have a client that I'm trying to fire right now, who, rather than hire me for a longer-term contract, has hired an offshore team of interns that are really struggling. What would have been a long weekend project for me has stretched out into 3 months for them.
- freedomben 3y agoI've had clients try to save money by off-shoring, and 5 out of 6 times it actually ended up more expensive and super late. If you can find the rare gem in a low-cost area then it can be a good strategy, but the odds are very much against you.
