That's disappointing for me in a way. I'm offshoring for NY companies, and it's been pretty hard to reach those figures, even considering myself a reasonably competent developer. Is the cost of life that high in those areas or are those people making really good money?
- carterschonwald 13y agoThey've been outsourcing to you? hrmm. Which rates bracket are you asking about? Heres how I think about salaries: They have nothing to do with cost of living, but of value created/negotiated. Also compensation can be dramatically influenced by the nature of the dev work and skills needed. Eg: are you doing the architecting for your work, how quickly could you onboard someone else to do the work instead, how broad and deep the needed expertise are, etc Many tech operations "outsource" because they can't find good people who they are able to hire. This could be for one of several reasons! 1) they just cant find people locally 2) they dont have money 3) they cant find people locally and they dont have money. without knowing more about what youre doing, its hard to answer informatively.
