What are the changes you notice when you interview off-shore vs local? Do you actually see a different quality in candidates or is it just a thing some people say?

Cultural difference, time zone difference, but I wouldn’t say there’s a huge shift either way in quality. Once we get to the interview stage, they’ve already met the basic skills in what we’re looking for.

If your expectations and understanding of differences in culture are set up.ahead of time, everything should be on equal grounds.

For example, in USA, if you're a CS grad from a Big Ten school, you are a top candidate. In India, there are some good schools but most I never heard or the need for me to understand because it doesn't matter for most roles I hire.

I could use some advice on this situation. I’ve been working for a small family owned business in Toronto Canada for about 4months.

What do I do?

Would it be better to use the money to buy a single family house with more rooms and Airbnb out the guest room? Any thoughts?
