Has 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.”

Is it just me, or does NYT spend way too much time chronicling the foibles of us Californians? Aren’t there plenty of New Yorkers in similar straits? Like, that Geithner character?

Maybe a combination of water restrictions, and not being able to afford the lawn guy.

I see this old thread got linkage from another blog:

and indirectly through bubbleinfo.com.

I’m seeing fewer “No VA” listings these days. Maybe listing agents and sellers are losing their anti-VA bias. Maybe they just want more and higher offers to use as negotiating tools with the preferred cash and conventional buyers. I mean, who cares what the terms of an offer are if you’re just using it to screw the one guy with an escalation clause 🙂
