Not sure where in Brazil you're from but I'm speaking mostly from an overhead cost perspective being that it doesn't require as much overhead to get the beans from x to y. Also, I agree that in the main cities of Brazil, the culture exists where people will pay a premium for American coffee (as sad as that is), but I know plenty of locals of Brazil who prefer their own coffee over Starbucks.

Honestly I can't speak affirmatively on Brazil but in general I would really expect the prices to be lower in South America as that is generally where the beans come from. Plus, I'm sure the people who live there prefer local coffee as compared to corporare Starbucks.

Honestly this chart is pretty misleading considering the current strength of the dollar and how much less popular Starbucks is in other countries. It's more of a novelty there so they can charge more. Starbucks is still ridiculously overpriced for what it is.

Tbh I always find these types of graphics to be so pointless to begin with. Not only do we not know if you're actually qualified for the jobs you applied to, we also know nothing on your interview skills. Therefore this data tells me zip zilch nada.

Also - whats pre-sales manager? I've done vendor management for years and Ive never heard the title. Is it like the person who sets up calls for the sales manager?

It's not about making the clone of the cd, it's about the piracy prevention built into the system itself.

For context, it used to be very common in the early days of disc consoles. Playstation 1 had some, let's say vulnerabilities. But Sony and Microsoft quickly patched it and it's been borderline impossible since. Though I'm sure someone has cracked the code if you look deep enough.........
