What to expect from hiring a dude in India?
 

What do these guys get paid a month now if they know php or asp.net? Do they really work 40 hours a week ?


Please don't try to sell me. I'm asking for information.

It will be the "best" move you've ever made, or the "worst" move you've ever made.

There is no "in between" when it comes to hiring off-shore employees.

They are either the hardest worker you've had, or the laziest, piece of shit you've seen......that's just from my experience.

It's hit or miss. Do the best you can to qualify them on the front end knowing that they'll probsably let you down shortly thereafter. When you find a good one who does what he says he can do in the timeframe he says he can do it, NEVER EVER LET HIM GO.

Yep its hit or miss. There are some good ones out there

Most of the good ones are already taken, it's still possible to find one, but it's probably 1 in a 100 shot..

a risk and some savings?

Well you can expect some communication issues, that's for sure.

he will say thank you or sir a lot , even with no comprehension of what you just said

:1orglaugh Very true!!

whatever you do never hire a company that has programmers always work direct or expect headaches

I work with one, who in turn manages a group. So long as I am very specific and literal with my communication with them, they do the job and do it well. The minute there's even the slightest hiccup in communication, even the most simple thing can go haywire.

I think you can expect the same as if you hired someone from somewhere else, except maybe less expensive? And as with everything else, you get what you pay for. If he/she is really cheap, he/she is probably billing the same 40/hr week to multiple companies, just to survive.

before i started in adult i did web design work all through outsourced people from all over the world

some very important tips are:

if they let you down one time, drop them. these guys will take on 5 jobs when they have time for just 1 and all their jobs will suffer. theyll try guilt trips and stuff out on you but ignore it and find someone who doesnt miss a deadline.

get them to repeat what you say to them in their own words, because thats the only way you're going to know if they actually understood you (not in their own language, in their own english words ;) )

these guys are used to bartering so dont be afraid to ask for something simple and pay little for it - but be prepared if you want to add anything on or anything like that to pay extra for it, even if someone else might have included it in the price

if you can observe them through like a remote desktop thing thats your best bet to make sure they're working. indians in particular are extremely hard workers - when they're being watched. when they aren't, they can be some of the dumbest and laziest fucks around.

If he lives in Mumbai, you cant expect an internet connection! muhahaha... JK

I have an Indian guy who does some work for me. Best thing I can suggest is to make it clear if the work is not done then you won't be sending the money.

expect to do better with a filipino...

Keep in mind it took 1200 Indian cops to subdue those 10 Muslim terrorists.

That's the quality of work you're looking at.

ya, you can expecthim to end every instant message with "Sir" most definitely sir..

indians are generally better educated and more capable than filipinos. go with the indian.

only problem is the damn bobble heads, u think their always saying no when their agreeing

Q: What to expect from hiring a dude in India?
A: Headaches.

I'll make sure remotely watching the desktop is an option. Thats a great idea. What will that cost me a month?

Hopefully he cooks

you can watch on webcam

This is especially true now with companies like Microsoft, Sun, Oracle and others setting up engineering outposts in India.

4 years ago you could get a PHD to work for you as an outsourced programmer... now those guys are working for one of the bigger companies with the salary and prestige that comes with having a position at one of them instead of slaving away at an outsourcing company.

I mean, think about it, wouldn't you?

That is also driving prices up.


So, don't expect the Top Gun quality guys for cheap if at all. Expect to pay about 60% of US prices. Once upon a time it was 25%. Those were the days.

Indians are NEVER GOOD!
