thanks for buzzing me.

Interesting reads here. Not good hearing existing customers are having connectivity issues. I still find it hard to believe word of mouth alone didn't add new customers.

$1.5M spent and no GUI interface. Its the GUI interface that would make this a no brainer to operate.

Jim could have hired an army of Russian programers for cheap money, gheesh!

How to find & hire top Russian programmers

Is is possible to hire developers in Russia for less than half the price of someone in the USA with the same skills or better?

Our experience is that you can but it’s not easy. You need to know exactly how to find the right people, and where to spend the time recruiting and selecting candidates. With the right know how, you can find programmers with the equivalent skills to someone earning $80 USD an hour for as little as $15 an hour.

Typical rates for developers in Russia and the former Soviet Union

It depends to some degree on the region and country. Salaries in Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus for example are significantly lower than Moscow (in Russia). In fact you will find salaries in Moscow are not that much lower than the west, so the comparative advantage of hiring a programmer in this city is not great. If you are hiring in the Russian Federation, you’ll have more luck elsewhere.

Rates that you can expect for programmers in most of the former Soviet Union vary depending on a number of factors. Keep in mind that local companies can hire with salaries 10-40% lower than this range (generally, but not always, there’s are a different set of rules for foreign businesses). Typical salaries for a full staff member are around:

Php programmers $1500-$2500 USD per month
C++ programmers $2000 – $3000 USD per month
J2E programmer $2000 – $3000 USD per month
Web developer $1200 – $2200 USD per month

As a general rule it’s better to find talent from the top of the pool, rather than hiring people who are willing to accept lower salaries.
