Why LATAM instead of other regions?
A senior/mid team in Colombia, Mexico or Argentina costs ~$45 USD/hour blended. The same experience level in the US or Western Europe costs $80 to $150 USD/hour — 2 to 3 times more, with no difference in technical quality. The gap is purely cost-of-living and exchange rate, not seniority or delivery standards.
