I recently read an article in Quora written back in July of 2012 and although I am sure that the write meant well and had good intentions, some of the things mentioned in his article were so dismal sounding and depressing that if it were not for the fact that I have personally worked with www.IndiaFreelancers.com and have seen the excellent freelancers which one can find on this website, I myself might have become discouraged.
My mom used to say that in life there are the “Dream Helpers” and the “Dream Killers” and I think I understand what she meant. Some people – even with good intentions – will listen to your dreams and discourage you from pursuing them. Others will listen to your dreams and encourage you and give you support both moral as well as financial. Try to stay away from the “Dream Killers” and cultivate relationships with the “Dream Helpers”.
In the article I mention in Quora (July 2012) the writer – who clearly had good intentions – speaks rather frankly about some of the possible negative aspects of hiring a programmer or developer in India; but the things he says are not the experience we have had on www.IndiaFreelancers.com.
On www.IndiaFreelancers.com our experience has been quite the opposite. We have always experienced positive things. Our programmers and web developers have been responsible, courteous, excellent and superbly qualified. We have not encountered, as the article states, “semi-literates pretending to be engineers.”. How harsh his wording. Also, as he states in this article, he says that in India has “an ethics problem” and the people in India “casually lie about things.” This could not be farther than what has been our experience. We have found programmers on www.IndiaFreelancers.com to be trustworthy, honest, truthful and completely dependable.
Therefore, remember what my mom often said. In life there are “Dream Killers” and “Dream Helpers”. The writer of this story – despite his apparent good intentions – would like the dream of someone who is looking to find an excellent programmer or web designer in India. Please do not let stories like this to take away your dream of looking for a great programmer or web designer in India who will make an outstanding website for a fraction of what that same website would cost in the US or Europe.
