Code Monkeys?

Bernard Lambert September 12, 2021

I was approached by an organization to utilize their talented people from elsewhere in the world. Coders were being quoted at eight dollars an hour. It is described as using talent from a place in the world where costs and wages are considerably lower than here in the US.

Every venture entrepreneur wants low development costs. Sometimes this can be overshadowed by low quality. Adjustments are made. Costs rise but eventually fix.

In the meantime I charge eighty-five dollars for every hour I spend on a project. Still, the low-cost seekers call. What happened to stating what you expect to pay somewhere near the beginning of the conversation?
