Participant10 year I/Os are still available.
I looked into it but if 1 year LIBOR rates go back to historical norms, the payment shock at the 10 year mark will be nothing short of astonishing.
Chances are that one would be able to sell or refinance, but … stuff happens.

ParticipantOne more positive DISincentive to picking up new stuff on the side … most employers don’t count your knowledge as “real” unless it’s been used on “commercial” projects.
Therefore (a) there’s no clear reward for picking up new skills and (b) the temptation exists to load down one’s current projects with irrelevant and sometimes toxic technologies just to add a few more buzzwords to one’s resume.

ParticipantHas your colleague verified that the overseas candidates actually have Android experience? That is, beyond the recruiter’s assurances?
And are you sure you’re not putting too much of a premium on Android-specific knowledge? I mean, there’s a pretty high barrier to entry for iPhone apps (high-end Mac, Objective-C and XCode, $99 for the SDK, etc.) but Android doesn’t require much beyond knowledge of the general Java/Eclipse suite. That sounds more like 4-5 weeks max, not 4-5 months.
And no, I’ve never done anything for the iPhone, but my employer thinks I should learn how to, on my own dime and on my own time. And that’s how I’d respond to your assertion that American developers aren’t picking up new skill sets — most of us are scrambling just to meet our current employers’ demands for new skills in an age of downsizing and “reorganization.”
