In other news, water is wet, the Pope is Catholic, and bears poop in the woods. Anybody who's in engineering or IT knows this. It's the worst-kept secret in the industry. My prior employer (a small company) was masterful at paying Indian body shops $50,000 a year to put a $30,000 a year programmer into a $65,000 a year job. Everybody wins except poor Sanjay who's making less money than the assistant manager down at Papa John's...but it's still six times what he'd be making in Bangalore.
I mean, I'm sitting at my job, literally surrounded by hundreds of folks here on H-1Bs, wondering when my contracting company is going to decide that not only are they moving all the coding jobs to Hyderabad, but they really don't even need QA testers like me in the States either and they can do it all by remote control. The joys of things when your company's new boss is a hardcore move-it-to-India-to-stay-competitive guy.
On the upside, I've gotten to watch a lot of World Cup highlights in the breakroom.
