This is ridiculous. There are a ton of amazing engineers/designers/etc in Europe, who are just as able as their US counterparts and deliver work at the same quality level.
Plenty of them work remotely, either for EU or US companies.
- gii2 11y agoThat's correct. There are very skilled/talented individuals in EU, I have no doubts in that. My point is that on company/organization level the EU companies are more ... how to say it... conservative and full of bureaucracy that their US counterparts. They pay for an employee and it they don't see him at his desk - there is a problem. The "communication" habits are also quite different IMHO.
