Do you think the market for Russian software freelancing will decrease or, conversely, expand during the crisis?

Question

Freelance

Someone will leave, and someone will come, on the contrary, to cut costs. What will happen in the end?

Answer 1

Everything will be normal, do not piss, the ruble will win back its own, do not rush about. If you do not have loans or expenses in any currency, then a 2-fold drop in your income will not affect you in any way.
You definitely won't die of hunger.
Well, do not buy in the near imported goods.
What do you have little junk?
Catch up after lifting.
And as for the answer about the market, someone will lose, someone will win. The market itself will not disappear and the darkness of software will have to be written, maintained and serviced further.
The crisis is a reason to develop and be competitive.

Answer 2

At this rate, we will soon become more profitable than the Indians and Chinese.
So it expands rather than shrinks.

Answer 3

xs) but right now it’s more profitable to work on Odessa than on our exchanges)

Answer 4

The Russian segment has already narrowed, they have already asked to mothball several projects and save them until a better future.
Now is the best reason to go to foreign freelancing, so a freelancer earned a thousand dollars on Russian freelancing aka 30,000 thousand rubles, and it will be tighter than a thousand, but abroad, and now it will be 100,000 rubles.

Answer 5

The ruble exchange rate dictates its own rules. Most freelancers will really think about learning English and earning in $. Since a month ago 30t was normal money, now it's a penny.

Answer 6

Just today I refused 2 customers from the Russian Federation, with whom I had been cooperating for quite a long time, but they refused to link compensation to $, and the amount of compensation became uninteresting at today's exchange rate, if converted to the time spent. The freelancing market, I think, will increase with work abroad, because. those who work now for the local market will not be very interested in getting half as much in terms of real goods than a couple of months ago.

Answer 7

It will definitely expand, because now on freelance you can have twice as much in foreign currency on average than in the office.
Previously, income was about the same.
