Hmmm interesting cos that is still cheap labor compared to my USA based designers.
The structure with my offshore team is unique to many other companies as we do not have a set up fee, contracts unless otherwise requested by the client go from month to month and the dedicated employee still comes with a supervisor. Daily reports are issued and the employee is online for the required 40hrs a wk. So maybe the reliability, professionalism and quality of service is also what you are paying for here. It is still very cheap labor but with quality control. Out of that monthly rate, there is more than 1 person being paid, there is internet service that is required, tools and software that are needed, electricity that has to be paid, rent on an office to work from and so on.
SO although it may not be cheap to you.......it is cheap to larger companies who have experience with offshore staffing and pay in house staff thousands more a month for the same quality service.
