I wonder how, ‘off shoring’ and H-1B visas affect this.

The common perception that there are no jobs in the computing industry due to off-shoring is erroneous. Sure, low-level jobs are moving (programming is an example), but the job market in areas such as Northern Virginia is still quite hot.

Since when is programming a “low level job”. In the mid 1980s I had friends making over $100,000 programming. I’m sure many still do, for a while. Will the last programmer in America please turn out the lights.

Leaving for Americans, what tech jobs exactly? PHBs? Regulatory compliance officers? Marketing? Salesdroids?
