Overseas always takes the short straw. In Brazil, the technical consultants I knew always complained about the hardware they got. Sales people got all the nice stuff.
That's interesting, it was the opposite here with all the developers having workstations and spec'ed up laptops whereas sale/marketing would be given some generic thinkpad.
I would of thought Brazil may be changing as they were getting a new office there and hiring when I was at the company.
To be fair, last time I had someone close in a technical role in Brazil was a while ago. Things could have changed since they got relocated (mostly to the US).
