[quote=larrylujack][quote=flu][quote=larrylujack][quote=dd123]$120K for a 10 year experienced Java programmer is absolute fine. This is coming from a person with similar background.[/quote]

Whatever dude. Obviously, you haven’t checked the latest rates in india. It’s not necessarily cheaper these days.
Besides, it beats being unemployed.[/quote]
actually, I do,
business is so-so in India, but CN is booming.
no offense, dude, but software engineers are a dime a dozen…literally, so don’t take yerself so seriously….[/quote]
I don’t take myself or anyone seriously, but I think you’re full of crap, because the first question is when you say “software engineers are a dime a dozen” tells me you probably aren’t in this business in detail to distinguish the diferences.
So, if you are in the know, please specify which ones…If you’re talking about script kiddies, I’d agree, if you’re talking about a dead J2EE field, I’d agree. If you’re talking about some posers “programmer” but can’t design architecture/systems, I agree. But, let’s last time I checked, I was having issues finding well qualified embedded architects/designers who knew what they were doing. If so, I have a contact that can fill a few positions that pay quite well about these levels.
I work with offices in india, china, korea, us, europe, BTW, and we had a tough time filling the reqs in the U.S…
Have you ever had to deal with software you sent to somewhere like China, only to get it back with a bunch of the most horrid code, even with some of the easiest/stupid shit totally fvcked up like method names completely misspelled (getRecievedPakcetTipe()) in a public API you give to customers, after supposedly it was code/design reviewed, blocking/synchronous calls across networks with high latency ??? Perhaps it doesn’t matter if you’re just putting a crap website together or something like that…But hardly acceptable or usable if you need to give these to high tech companies.
I think the suckers are more the fresh MBA’s trying to find work doing paper pushing and trying to “manage ideas” using outsourced work, having absolutely no experience doing it..Or the dream of just managing with no experience….I wish those folks good luck…particularly in this economy.
