Do you have any development in the Ukraine?

The Ukraine has massive inflation and the trade sanctions with Russia are not going to help... if you have outsourced developers located in the Ukraine, now might be a good time to start evaluating other options.



With inflation almost at 50%, that means EVERYTHING costs 50% more. When staples start costing 50% more if your business is not located in the Ukraine, you'll either have to pay your teams 50% more so they can maintain their standard of living or the temptation to make money other ways needs to be taken into consideration.

Imagine if it cost 50% more to eat, but you didn't make any more money...

You can still save money by outsourcing your development teams, just source them from countries in the European Union. Their inflation rate has been more stable than the American rate.

I've been working with a firm out of Romania since 2006 - I can hook you up if you'd like to evaluate other options
