I don't get it, why are most webmasters on GFY still too retarded to understand that the world is now flat, and that in India there are more college grads than in the US? (both proportionally and overall).
Most of my web-related work is done by people from India, and honestly most of them are more pleasant to work with than smug Americans.
I.e. I needed 2 sales page designed. A guy from the US did it for $80, and a guy from India for $15.
Whenever I work with someone new, I never pay upfront and state that the designer needs to be comfy with making retouches.
The American did a lousy job in the first place, retouched it once and then went all horseshit wanting his money.
The Indian also did a lousy job, but retouched everything several times until exactly what I wanted. Since then he got 50+ more projects from me, and the American is in a shitlist.
There are many more examples, including tech support. My host has US-based tech support during US daytime and Pakistan based support during the night. I prefer talking to the Pakistanis, the guys there speak with a movie-inspired American accent and are always happy to help, fix bugs and generally have a great attitude, while the Americans usually want you to fuck off faster.
I could go on and on, but it pisses me off that GFY has this smug attitude towards developing countries. So fuck everyone who doesn't understand this.
And no, I live in an expensive EU country.
