Ukrainian developers are known for • being sticky to the minor points, hence if the job has not been properly accomplished, they will work up a sweat to reach the desirable result; • searching the cheapest and most appropriate way to solve the task; • reducing the number of contacts to a minimum, meaning they prefer discussing software and support related issues with the smallest amount of people so that to have a clear understanding of what should be done; • keeping up with the latest trends; • solving the task at the most reasonable price and revealing the product at the best quality; • eagerly reducing their vacation period (usually taking up only a part of it by dividing the off period into several parts depending on the required terms of completing the project), sacrificing it for the sake of job; • being time flexible, therefore, arranging a meeting at the off-job time is not a problem.
Most Ukrainian IT specialists are introverts, that’s why the US or European clients sometimes feel uncomfortable, yet, this trade doesn’t influence the quality of work or terms of accomplishing it. Unlike their colleagues from Asia, Ukrainian IT outsourcers are result-oriented.

This peculiarity differentiates Ukrainians greatly since they are also motivated by the salary. For instance, the salary of the average junior amounts to $600, for middle, it grows up to $1500.
