+1 for no ~foreign people are dumb~ undertones I've seen in other posts. I'm brasilian and I'm sure my skills could punch the skills of some developers elsewhere in the face, even if I make less. If you don't respect people who you work with, what are you? That's why, also, I'm at my last remote job, after this one goes, I'm getting back to local and corporate stuff.. Current one is great, but I've had enough bad experiences
- conorh 13y agoYou should contact me (see my profile). We're always looking for remote devs and we have a pretty good reputation at this point for how we work with remote developers.
- invalidOrTaken 13y agoIt's not that foreign people are dumb, it's that foreign dumb people become developers. American dumb people do other stuff.
- ori_b 13y agoIt's not even that. It's that good developers don't need to bid on outsourcing sites.
- memracom 13y agoThe problem is that English speaking people rarely learn other languages and therefore don't have much skill at communicating with people who are not fluent in English. Communication is a two-way street. When I was working in the UK in multinational companies, the employer put a fair amount of emphasis in using International English in all communications. For those of us with an interest in literature this was a bit difficult because our heads were filled with flowery language. If you have any second language skill at all, then you can probably deal reasonably well with 3/5 English speaking folks as long as you are careful to avoid slang and write your emails in clear International English.
