Hello John,
JH> - I know some programers who would be happy to do some part time
JH> work over a weekend for much less than $35/hour.
recently i needed a programmer to do some complicated web work on a
unix box. so i looked all over for cheap programmers, found Romania
programmers for 5 an hour, Russian ( my first choice as i have had
extremely good luck using Russians ) about 25 and hour and lastly
American for 85 an hour. the bids were as follows.
Romania 15,000.00 - Russia 40,000.00 - American 5,020.00 plus i don't
think i ever got the Romania guy to understand, the Russians
understood too well and the American i guess thought no big deal.
Granted this is a very rare case, but i think what happened is that i
found someone who fully understood "EXACTLY" what i wanted and had
probably done similar in the recent past and had no fear that he could
not deliver. i will say that typically Russians are very good and very
knowledgeable, but as evident not always the cheapest. So you can't
always go by the hourly rate.
i would suggest specking out jobs for bid on elance.com just to get
ideas about the market. at the risk of insulting someone i will say
that i shy away from Indian and Malaysian programmers just because
technically they are way too vertically trained.
