[BangPypers] [chennaipy 1126] [XPost][Slightly OT] Could you share your experiences about Python Freelance programming, from a programmer's perspective

[Rajeev J Sebastian]

Thanks Sidu and Senthil for your recommendations, which were very
helpful. As you suggested, the most important change we can make is to
test directly with code.

Do you do your tests in Python, or whatever language the fresher
knows? So far, we have not received a single resume mentioning Python.

As for pay, we are willing to pay in return for exceptional work. We
outsource a LOT and pay well for absorbing the responsibility and
risk. But we have so far been unsuccessful in finding talented people,
to whom we could pay equivalent to what we outsource.

Question is, how much to pay? I guess this is not really an
"answerable" question. Looking around at the "sweat factories" that
surround us, we pay very well. There is also the tug of "Bangalore".
>From the freshers point of view though, their friends making insane
salaries at MNCs always make them dissatisfied. Any recommendations?

Regards
Rajeev J Sebastian
