Sorin, thank you for compliments and the comment. of course rates are always moving and probably as volatile as the stock market. I am not surprised that nowadays they are more reasonable. I think as the crisis fades away (hope in somewhat near future!) we’ll see rates go up again. The main goal today is keep quality resources intact to be ready for the new wave of demand. Best of luck to you, Nick

Very interesting post Nick, just like the entire blog.

One comment to the table above though. You can get quality resources in Romania for much lower rates than mentioned here.
I run an outsourcing company of 80 people, we focus on vertical industries like Security, Telecom, Financial, Transport. The feedback we get from our customers is very motivating, which means we aren’t that bad.
…and our rates are between $20-$28 per hour. With the current economic climate you can get very good developers (dedicated team) for $3,450/month. At least as long as the $$/RON exchange rate stays high enough.
