Pays contractors fairly if you negotiated well. If not, you could be making 55hr for design.
Uses hiring as a carrot to overwork contractors, then dumps them off.
I was thinking little bit beyond the computer science system design part. And I need answers how those factors work in real world. Let’s say there is userA and userB. userA adds 20$ to their account. userB adds 50$ to their account. 1. Does Starbucks maintain cash value of these two users in one ...Read more
