Lol. It’s so over. Buddy of mine is hiring react devs off upwork, some for 20 an hour. The work quality is the same as many amazon SDEs. How much longer can this money train last. Outsourcing is going to kill salaries. Throw in AI, I’m getting out of this career asap.
Better than Amazon SDEs
Sometimes
No most of the times!
You can apply this mindset to literally any knowledge job
Yea exactly, and that’s the scary part. But it’s easier to outsource coding
I don’t know of any majority outsourced successful companies. This may work for huge companies that already move slow as molasses but there is a downside of potentially hurting your future talent pipeline and public perception. The companies that disrupt the tech giants will be small and in person. Could you be cheap and try to higher people on bare minimum pay? Yes, but at what cost? You potentially ruin the quality of your product to pay your upper leadership team even more money?
United States allows poisons in food that other countries ban and then is shocked when other countries do knowledge work faster lmao
Hey if you can work from home/anywhere then why not work from India/East Europe/Latin America
is this the equivalent of me picking up a couple of mexicans in front of home depot to work on my house as opposed to hiring a licensed contractor?
It’s the same group of people. One group gets h1b lottery, the other doesn’t
$30/hour is a lot. You can easily support a family in US with both parents earning $30/hour (over $100k/year). Median income in US is 75k. $30/hour is more than teacher and close to a nurse who is responsible for human lives.
People still thinking the hard part is writing the code smh
You are either a TPM or an idiot. Any SDE’s <L7 70% of the work is code related.
Most l5 and l4 are coding all of the time
