Analysis of dev agencies with hourly rates, team size and tech stack
I oversee the hiring of dev shops for a mid-sized company in the US and the rates for e-commerce/web development are all in the $120-$150/hour range.<p>The funny thing is that some of these companies outsourced to the Ukraine and India and the rates didn't change. I would have thought that we would at least see some of the cost savings.<p>Both companies that outsourced ended up being complete disasters (we are still cleaning up the technical debt 3+ years later), which happened before I was involved.<p>Since this is the case, it made no sense to hire any company that didn't hire all developers directly in the US or Canada (which is now a requirement).<p>I suppose I should thank these companies, because it's the reason I have a job today.
