Seriously? I’ve upped both quality and throughput by specifically hiring Romanian dev teams. They’re (in my limited sample size, admittedly) excellent.

We didn’t cheap out at as low as 50% though.

The problem usually is that remote teams work for multiple clients and are rarely onboarded properly. So they just churn out code regardless of client specific requirements or standards. If you treat remote teams as actual people and staff members, you can achieve great results.

Another comment that’s helped me with a new perspective, thanks. The times I’ve worked with Romanian teams, they’ve been dedicated to our company/project.

I didn't say anything about the quality of Romanian engineers, nor Indian nor Nigerian for that matter. The worker, regardless of nationality, is not who I'm railing against.

Fair enough. I see your point. Apologies.

No worries mate. :)
