And it should have gotten easier in that time, what with the Internet. Time zones and culture and language and all that, I suppose.

- Muromec 2y agoIt depends what kind of a company you work for. Something like a bank with a lot of boringly tedious stuff on top of procedures will have quite a lot of offshore contractors. They don't even have to be very smart, because truly smart ones decide to move closer towards the source of the moneys.
