It's up the companies to make compelling offers to candidates if they want to find good people. What I can tell you is that this is more common now then when we first started, which we're very glad about!

In fact, on our platform we've seen some companies not only provide stock options but some even pay US level wages, or significantly above local market to entice professionals to join their teams.

The companies that provide these kinds of offers don't fit in the traditional outsourcing models. We believe Astro fits them better to attract talent that isn't accessible with the more traditional channels.

That is good. I was shocked to hear about unicorn and decacorn companies in LATAM hiring staff level engineers to make core contributions with no stock.

The more I read your responses, the more I believe this could be a net good with a more healthy attitude towards working in Latin America. Cheers and good luck!

Edit: by the way, do you facilitate sourcing talent for companies operating or building within Latin America?
