Lightbulb Move east

Hi,

There is a slow but constant flow of IT centred job to all of Eastern Europe. Ukraine is one of the countries benefiting, but not at the rate of Poland or Czech. My company is now doing a small amount of it's development in Ukraine and we have aspirations to enlarge it.

The reasons for this (the move east) are unfortunately a large pool of skilled and cheep labour. (My company pays Ukrainians the same as Polls, which is very unusual) It doesn't make sense to employ say one German for 50000USD when you can employ 3 people of the same ability for that amount of money. With the exception of defence technologies a lot of software development and production will move east.

Take Care,

Steve.
