Brian Samson explains why companies hire engineers from Brazil and Argentina instead of competing with US tech giants. Wages are lower but rising, and developers there excel at React and JavaScript, write clean code, and consistently hit milestones.

So rather than get into this arms race with Google and Meta and Amazon, we helped them understand the dynamics of Latin America, where even though wages were going up there too, not nearly at the rate of the US and these hot tech markets. We introduced this VP of engineering to engineers from Brazil and Argentina. These were full-stack developers. They had experience with React, JavaScript, really strong, savvy, creative thinkers, problem solvers.
