Are you able to pay US-level hourly rate?


I'll always compare the output (productivity) to the input (pay) !


And then compare that ratio to someone from Portugal or eastern Europe who charges 5x less?


When you factor in communication skills, english language, work culture etc. (they all impact the productivity), I doubt the difference is really as high as 5x
