Why are russians so good at programming?

Since Russians are so good at Maths and Programming, does it make it hard to switch jobs or get competitive salaries?

  • I have seen that Russians are generally good at Mathematics and Programming given their performance in programming competitions and course material taught at schools. Does an increased supply of talented Software Engineers result into decreased Salaries or Opportunities for them locally?

  • Answer:

    No. The said supply has been constantly brain-draining to the US and other countries. The shortage of talent http://www.forbes.com/sites/venkateshrao/2011/12/05/the-rise-of-developeronomics/.

If global demand was high, this would result in one or both of the following: 1) Russians leaving to other countries to work over there 2) The companies will come to Russia in one way or another. This may mean outsourcing, setting up another site, etc. So no, I doubt this would have a big impact. We live in a small world, traveling and communication is very easy.
