[quote=The-Shoveler]Outsourcing to India is not as easy as it sounds and not a cheap as it used to be.
(unless you want lousy work done).
Very very hard to get someone there at 11:00 AM here and work for more than a few months before quitting,
Actually much easier to hire someone here to work from midnight to 9 AM than it is in India.[/quote]
Doesn’t matter, the decisions makers don’t believe your excuses and the people selling the services blow massive sunshine saying otherwise.
In the end, it’s a spreadsheet showing a guy like flu making $200K a year here and a guy ‘like’ flu there making the equivalent of $40k.
Mid-level technical people can be staffed for sub-$10/hr there.
Thin the herd, make the staffing someone elses problem, give them a margin slice and take a fabled 30% of your labor expense.
