The same could be said of Argentina and some cities in Brazil, with the added benefit of being closer (timezone-wise) to the US. Don't know what's so special about Romania besides it being part of the EU.
- mariaslickflick 15y agoRidiculous math and CS education consistently all over the map for over 50 years. Like advanced calculus in high school. Plus hungry.
- rdl 15y agoA friend of mine (who recently moved down to Argentina) was saying Argentina would be a great place to recruit -- if you have any information about this I'm sure HN would be interested.
- mirceagoia 15y agoI'll tell you what so special about Romania. 1. We are learning foreign languages nowadays even from kindergarten (computers too). Even on the communism times we learned English and other foreign languages (myself I learned since I was 8 years old). 2. Strong theoretical learning in math and physics. 3. Proximity to Europe (this article doesn't address just the US market but also Europe) 4. Imagination and creativity of the people. We were used to not having things so we tried to be creative about them, make them somehow. I didn't have toys when I was a kid so I made my own toys (including functional model rockets and airplanes). We cam accomplish a lot with less resources and you don't have to micro-manage us (and I had bad experiences with micromanagement of some outsourced people from Asia - they couldn't do anything without me telling them in detail what to do). 5. Being part of EU and NATO is no small advantage. That means the country is secure and changes of regimes (like we see in South America sometimes) are not possible anymore (not to mention wars - how's Argentina doing with Britain?)
