FWIW - they figured that out ...15? 20? years ago with the first wave of out sourcing to India.
- hnrodey 3y agoOffshoring and outsourcing aren't new trends. While offshoring to India was tried many years ago, there was a boomerang effect that many of those jobs came back to the US after failed attempts at offshoring. It feels different this time around. India is still in the mix due to low wages and skilled labor, now South America is showcasing a real capability for skilled SE's. South America has the time zone advantage that most of the team will be online that overlaps their NA managers.
