@levikov Most people who do that will treat it as a side job. You are not going to get good developers for 1200 euros a month.

A lot of euro-poors mad Since most of you don't understand the implication of what I wrote I'll make it super simple: There's a huge difference between getting paid 800-1500/m for skill-based work, and working 40 hours a week at a job getting 1200 euro/m for 50 hours of work total is not a bad deal at all, considering I personally hire many people like this, I assume most of you are going based on avg numbers alone I don't know how I can be wrong since I pay people exactly like this, but I assume you know better More hacks: -Try to find people who don't live in the city, country side still has wifi and you can pay them less -You can hire teens easily for like 500 bucks this is simple Best places to do this: Bosnia Bulgaria Baltics (apart from estonia, they are rich) Serbia other nameless small countries Ofc if you decide to give them 3-4k/m then they will actually kill someone for you

Eastern Europe is the most exploitable talent arbitrage on the planet right now and almost nobody in the Western business world is paying attention because they're too busy overpaying for mid work from the Philippines and India… Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Poland, Ukraine, Croatia. Average salaries $500-1,000/month. But the talent coming out of these countries isn't $500/month talent. It's $5,000-8,000/month talent priced at a tenth of what you'd pay in the US because the local economy hasn't caught up to the skill level yet That gap is the exploit Every other "hire cheap overseas" conversation defaults to Southeast Asia or South Asia. And sure, the prices are low. But anyone who's actually tried to scale operations in those regions knows the pattern. Language barriers. Cultural disconnect. Equipment issues. Endless training loops. You spend more time managing output than you save in cost. The $4/hour rate sounds nice until you're on revision 14 and the work still isn't usable Eastern Europe skips all of that These countries have legitimate university systems. Strong STEM education. English fluency across the entire 18-30 demographic, sometimes better than native speakers in the US (not even joking). They grew up on the same internet, same memes, same cultural references. Zero cultural gap when working with Western businesses. You don't need to explain context. You don't need to translate intent. They just get it And they have real infrastructure. Laptops. Fast wifi. Proper software. Modern tools. You're not onboarding someone who needs you to walk them through basic setup. You're hiring someone who's already operating at a professional level but happens to live in a country where $1,000/month is a great salary The applications go way beyond content. Developers in Bucharest building full-stack apps for $1,500/month that would cost you $8-12k from a US agency. Designers in Belgrade producing brand assets at agency quality for $800/month. Sales closers in Sofia running calls in perfect English for $1,000/month plus commission. Media buyers in Warsaw managing $50k+/month ad accounts for $1,200/month. Copywriters, project managers, data analysts, customer support, operations managers. Every single role in your business can be filled from Eastern Europe at 80-90% cost reduction with zero quality drop The training speed is the real cheat code though. Hand someone in Bucharest a brief on Monday and you get back usable output by Wednesday. Not "needs 6 rounds of feedback" output. Actually usable, deploy-immediately output. The baseline competency is just different when the talent pool is educated, tech-native, and hungry It's common now for operators running lean businesses to have their entire team in Eastern Europe except themselves. 4-8 people. Total payroll $5-8k/month. Output equivalent to a $40-60k/month US team. The business runs 24/7 because the time zone overlap with the US is actually perfect for async work (btw it doesn't hurt that Eastern Europe has the baddest bitches on the planet. If you need on-camera talent for any kind of brand content targeting Western audiences, a girl in Sofia or Bucharest is visually indistinguishable from a girl in LA but costs a fraction. The talent pool for that specific use case is bottomless and nobody's tapped it properly yet) The freelance platforms are the worst place to find these people. The best ones are in local Facebook groups, Telegram channels, and Eastern European Twitter. You DM 50 people, 40 respond within hours because an $800/month retainer is life-changing money and they actually take pride in the work. The talent density is absurd once you know where to look

@piersmorgan I’m pretty sure that when a large account blocks a smaller one, it can reduce the smaller account’s reach. At least, that’s how the old Twitter algorithm used to work.

Cernovich getting suspended for violating paid partnership rules that he personally pushed for makes zero sense. This has to be an automated error or a coordinated liberal mass reporting campaign. No human would make this mistake. Right? There is no X without Cerno.

Toata industria de apărare a României, controlată de stat, este condusă de politruci, incompetenți, mulți au biografii ridicole. La uzina de la Sadu - care produce munitie - șef este un politist pensionar, iar la Moreni, unde se produc blindate, șef de Consiliu de Administrație este un pompier civil. Privatizați industria de armament! Aici, in SUA este complet privată. În Germania si Marea Britanie, sectorul privat domina industria de apărare. Și vă asigur că acești privați sunt mai de încredere decât clienții PSDPNL - și, de o vreme, și cei ai USR - care conduc acum industria de apărare din România.

Total de acord cu titlul Aleph News si cu @OvesEnterprise. E o problema pe care continuam sa o repetam in toate postarile despre inzestrarea si pregatirea armatei in drone warfare. Birocratie excesiva.
Oves Enterprise@OvesEnterprise

The Aleph team nailed it with this title: Romania needs to start building its own drone technology. For the past 10 years, @OVES Enterprise has been building advanced technology in Romania with Romanian engineers that can compete globally. Romania has the talent. Let’s keep build

Ukrainian drivers were just arrested in Hungary driving armored vehicles reportedly carrying €80 million in cash and gold bars. Where was that money headed? Who was it for? Brussels is already calling it “state terrorism.” Interesting. Because when you carry more than €10,000 across an EU border, you get searched, questioned, and inspected. But €80 million? Apparently asking questions about that is a problem. Let’s see how this story develops.

@springmerchant @business We'll see about that. For the Hungarian authorities to conduct this operation, they have some intel. It's not just like that on random. Let's wait and see. If everything is so clear and lawful, they'll have no other choice, but to release the convoy.

A Ukrainian truck detained by Hungarian officers carrying about $82 million of gold, euro and dollar bank notes was part of a regular transport to meet cash needs of companies and citizens in the war-torn country, sources say bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The general of the SBU, detained in Hungary together with the Oschadbank cash-in-transit personnel on suspicion of money laundering, turns out to be Gennadiy Kuznetsov, former chief of staff of the Antiterrorist Center at the SBU and linked to the SBU's "Alpha" special operations unit in 2014–2015. On February 24, 2011, the Pecherskyi District Court of Kyiv convicted him for negligent attitude toward military service (a corruption-related offense). He has been dismissed from the SBU TWICE over corruption issues. In 2019–2020 investigations showed that Kuznetsov was a close associate of Andriy Yermak. Publications from that period accused them of turning prisoner exchanges into a profitable "business," involving ransoms, kickbacks, or personal enrichment schemes. Kuznetsov has also faced separate serious accusations of collaborating with Russian FSB, including claims that he turned parts of the ATC into a FSB outpost. He's known in Ukraine as "Sobachnyk" (roughly "Dog Man") due to his known enthusiasm for HUNTING DOGS. BIG question is WHY would this shady intelligence guy be in charge of this very suspicious transfer of huge amounts of money? How many intelligence agency generals have YOU heard of being involved in these types of operations?

Why was Ukraine receiving "aid" in cash from Raiffeisen Bank in Vienna? Why was it not legally wired through bank accounts? As you probably know, 75 million dollars and 9 kilos of gold were seized by Hungarian authorities today. Meanwhile, EU CITIZENS have a cap on cash payments and cash withdrawals. BTW, wasn't Ukraine against Raiffeisen for still operating in Russia? 👀😉

@springmerchant @business Which normal country transports such amounts IN CASH? Think! (if you can) Such money are usually bank wire transfers only. But when the money are for some shady corruption practices then it starts to make sense.

@StevenEKuhn What did you suggest then? Common sense says that a country can move physical bills and valuables using armored trucks. The bills even had the reiffeisn bank tag on it.
