The model I'm noticing becoming more popular is a highly skilled US based team lead and exclusively Latam seniors and mids.
The reason to have some US devs is that the Latam hires are technically contractors and they need US engineers to hedge against the risk a change in Argentina tax law forces employees to quit.
Im sure it's very difficult to be a US based junior or mid right now.
- cmorgan31 3y agoI’m seeing the same trend. You get the benefit of the same general working hours. We tend to only have 2-3 in house engineers and an equal amount of contractors. Those contractors are unlikely to ever be more than a senior.
- twojobsoneboss 3y agoI mean it hits the seniors hard too - you’re talking about a 50% or more reduction in this type of job compared to before
