Almost like the unnecessarily complex hiring processes are built that way on purpose.
The ones at a fraction of the cost aren't very good. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
I've worked with great offshore teams and terrible ones, I think the great ones were more expensive but still less than a local salary.
But the theoretical hiring manager here doesn't care anyways. All they want is to come under budget so they can max their bonus for being so cleverly frugal.
Intelligence / Competence more or less has the same distribution curve. With the access of knowledge now widely available, A country with 1.5B people will always have more competent people than countries that have 50 Million in population.
And these countries have cheap labor. US has always poo-pooed Japanese, Chinese and Indian workers as low quality. That's only because you didn't filter well
No, it's an experienced one.

That is only a fraction of what it takes to produce good software developers. You have to include quality of the educational systems, living conditions and all that. Any offshore developer worth their salt gets paid market rates or near market rates.

It's not their nationality, it's the price they are charging for. I bet you can't find a quality US worker for $30K a year either.
