Absolutely agreed. That's why people are using outsoursing that much. About Cuba I was impessed, I didn't know that somebody can pay such low salary for a programmer.
However in Ukraine for instance you can get paid $100-$200 per month if you work for our company. If you choose to work for outsoursing company from U.S. or Europe, you'll get paid a lot more.
Besides it is a mind blowing idea to get your work done by somebody outside the U.S. Thanks for sharing your opinion. It means a lot to me.
I heard that all programmers in Cuba are hired by government - I think that is the reason.
2 weeks ago I wrote some tips how to get a remote job with livecoding. I think that will be the future - live here, work wherever you like :)
Yeah, totally true. Remote job is the future. Even now there are so many opportunities to do that from any part of the world.
