Why Salaries Matter

Labor is your biggest ongoing cost. A senior developer costs $12K/month in the US but $1,800 in Vietnam. Knowing this before you choose a country can save you 70%+ on your team budget.

Talent Pool

Rated as abundant, moderate, or limited. Abundant means you can hire fast. Limited means you'll compete for talent and pay premiums.

Remote Readiness

High means reliable internet, coworking spaces, and a culture of remote work. Low means you may need a physical office and on-site teams.
