India Fires Back at U.S. in the Outsourcing War
Yadda, yadda, yadda. One of the leftover problems of the Internet Bubble Blowup is that too many IT workers in the US still believe the asinine salaries they were receiving back then should be considered "market" rates. They weren't then; they aren't now. Unless you are an elite-level programmer, engineer, whatever, nobody States-side is gonna pay those salaries anytime soon when they can get the same level of performance somewhere else.

One thing that ticks me off to no end in this outsourcing debate is that India is always held up as the example. You don't hear too much about the jobs that are going here. How much you wanna bet the Ould Sodders are outsourcing to India themselves?
