Curious on what folks are finding to work or not work when hiring offshore software engineers? I'm looking to start small, scale as business needs scale, but would like to make sure I'm getting experienced developers in cloud / AWS at a reasonable price.
I assemble and manage international teams for our customers. My advice is to (a) thoroughly vet whoever might be look like a good fit and (b) focus more on value added than on price; the ratio value/price is more important in the long run than price alone. In fact, I don’t know a single company succeeded in trying to significantly reduce cost with offshoring. Value is more important.
