You know, I've been pitching that line ever since last year when I first
went hunting for subcontracting relationships and creative-engineering
partnerships with Silicon Alley firms. Why hire someone at USD $60 -
$100K when you can ship it north where comparable talent is more than
half price? And it works spectacularly.
So if you're a Canadian company, I encourage you to go south of the
border and flog your services whole-heartedly. Go on trade missions.
Call your Canadian consulate in US cities. It's been wonderful for our
business.
Not only do you stand to make more, but I've found that we end up
working on cooler, more cutting edge projects (the Cdn. Web dev scene
tends to lag a year or so behind the Americans).
