Web developers are asking for huge amount of money for tiny html/css edits. Their prices aren't fair and now they blame freelancers from all over the world because Indian guy charges 20$ instead of 600$ and they are bad, ruining their "profitable" business.
I don't get it.
Are the web devs work for free (like $5-10) or are they making a killing?
Because you all are telling a different story.
If editing a CSS file was that easy without breaking everything, then the client should do it himself/herself.
Those Indians work for dirt cheap for a reason and it is not because their country's economy suck. It is their product that suck.
Do you ever take into account the cost of living in the respective countries? Web devs living in the US/EU ask for considerable amounts because that's the only way they can live in their society where cost of living is very high, this without taking in account the fact that when a dev charges 600$, he doesn't get 600$ in his pockets, there is taxes and a shitload of other expenses; ofcourse they are going to call devs from countries where cost of living is low "bad" because they are breaking the market by charging peanuts for their service...
If a Euro webdev asks for $600 for completing the same job where the Indian dude charges $20, then either the Euro-dev or the Indian-dev is about to scam the client.
If the Indians are willing to work for free, then maybe It is time to leave that business and move to something else.
