Minas Tirith | Unfortunately One of the big reasons [maybe the biggest] for offshoreing is the cost. Here in the US, we have minimum wage laws [min $2.65 - Kansas & max 7.10 - Connecticut], you have federal & state taxes and in most cases, health insurance premiums. True, there are a lot of states without any minimum wage requirements, but there are the rest of the charges. All they have to pay, offshore, is the salary alone [The exchange rate for India is 1 dollar - 45.1 Rupees]!
As for the language, well you're mostly right on that, but I remember calling for support once & the person that came on the line has a accent that you needed a chainsaw to cut [I wound up hanging up & calling again]! |
