Re: Outsourcing Tech Pubs

[David Neeley <dbneeley -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I find it interesting to note that two of the jobs I am looking at
presently happen to be in Russia...one most likely in Moscow and one
in Novosibirsk (Russia's third largest city and the capital of
Siberia!).

The company that does development work in Novosibirsk has
advanced-level tech support there, too, with English-speaking Russian
engineers who are in touch via VOIP telephone with an American number.

There are some interesting developments in the outsourcing arena, when
you dig a little!
