True, "you get what you pay for," but lets not forget: $15-$20 an hour in India is damn good wages. I competed against the Asian labor market for a while. I learned one thing: the workmanship is not that bad and the labor pool ramps up real fast. I had a cast iron foundry. White iron (that means melted, in the ladle, ready to pour, no labor costs added yet) cost me about $1.00/pound. I could buy finished cast iron products on the docks in any U.S. seaport for $0.11/pound - less if I bargained. So, don't be thinking that Asian labor will be ineffective and produce bad code. That generalization will not be borne out in the marketplace. _______________________ Booth Martin boothm@earth.goddard.edu http://www.spy.net/~booth _______________________ "Carl Galgano" <cgalgano@ediconsulting.com> Sent by: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com 12/03/1999 12:43 PM Please respond to MIDRANGE-L To: <MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com> cc: Subject: Re: Heart Warming Advertising(please read) You get what you pay for. If a company does not want to pay our rates and would like to hire an off shore programmer making 15-20 bucks an hour, then that is great with me. I would not want to do business with them anyway. I don't have an aspiration to be the Yugo of consulting and development companies.
