    Net wages for all but a fairly elite few with proven track records will likely be a lot lower, though.

      Is that in the Indian office or in the US one?

        With a lot of programmers, if they can use indoor plumbing unassisted, you'd better count your blessings.

          Well, when your programmers are getting paid as much as your orthopedic surgeons, then maybe we could mark the high wages down to an unsustainable circumstance.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            I didn't say they wouldn't exceed those levels, just saying I expect them to at least get back to those levels.

              Well, if the jobs are at least going to come back (but maybe in different IT areas), even while we're giving away IT jobs to India, why should we be alarmed?

                Because of crap work that can reflect back poorly on the industry.

                The desire not to see quality programmers laid off in lieu of less qualified off shore programmers because some idiot is blinded by potential upfront savings. I've had a couple of buddies that were laid off already due to this type of short term thinking.

                  And it almost always comes back from the end user management point of view as a failure of IT in general.

                  "We tried doing it in house, then we hired consultants, then we outsourced, and we still didn't get what we wanted...."

                    Yep, gotta love it.

                    But it's always my goal to provide such intimate service that the user is willing to spend the extra money instead of risking it being done by someone that doesn't understand what they do. We have been very successful providing this type of service.

                        yay. So this means in 15 years we can all look forward to either being in the Entertainment industry or Retail. The rest will be gone!

                          Oh wait. Entertainment is being outsourced too. There making movies everywhere else but hollywood now. So I guess we will all be saying "What else can I get you with that 12 pc Extra Krispy?"

                              Think how Australia feels. With such close proximity to India, our IT industry is all almost non-existant. Outsourcing has virtually taken over. The IT job market here is very poor.

                              **** it, I'm going to become an accountant.
                              I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                                Mexico's out. The Maquiladoras are moving to Vietnam and Cambodia.
