It would be great if I (we) could get my hands on more details of rate distribution. Understanding key differences between cities – which one is a tier 1 which is tier 3 cities – is not what most of us have. It is especially important for small to mid-sized companies that are new to outsourcing. Regards, Nick

Good rate data certainly can help both buyers and providers of services agree upon fair rates. At oDesk, we try to help our community make good decisions by providing as many statistics as possible.
