“umm…yes. I work in IT for a Fortune 200. Our entire security framework was developed in India. We layed off a bunch of US developers last year and hiring more in India.”
Thanks for proving my point about perception! I’m in the public sector and out-sourcing is a non-issue. But who knows, maybe in the future american universities will just be lecture halls with screens showing canned content from cheap overseas faculty!
Yeah I don’t get paid as much, but the job security plus bennies is rapidly becoming priceless. If the economy tanks, only moreso.
Lots of high-paying IT security gigs require top secret clearance as well, which isn’t easily available to foreign nationals.
The trick is to either get in a position that *can’t* be outsourced, or get high enough up that you are managing the foreign talent. This is zero-sum game over the long term anyway, as more companies off-shore IT it will drive up the cost of foreign labor.
