Q I've got a lot of listeners right now that are running SaaS companies and they hear these stories about these amazingly talented dev teams in Ukraine and Krakow and Argentina and all, and they go, should we spin up a dev shop in Ukraine? What do you pay a senior engineer in Ukraine these days?
A Oh, uh, depends very much. Um, what is, what does you pay? Um, you know, the product company would pay one amount, the outsourcing company would pay another amount. Uh, the person who works through a marketplace would pay, you know, a higher amount. If you're a product company, you have someone, something that, um, that developers want to work on, you, you, you would, you would have a high chance of, of, of, of paying less. You would have a high chance of paying, I don't know, Uh, maybe three to four, um, to 5000 dollars per, per, per month. Uh, if you working, if you're hiring as an outsourcing company, you would pay more because, uh, developers will be looking, uh, to do a job. They, you know, are interested less, but you know, want to make more money.
