They don’t want to hire greyhairs, we cost too much.
they want to hire 30 somethings with the same knowledge.
I’m leaving WA because there are too many cheap young
perfectly-adequate-for-the-task sw engineers looking for gigs, and more are arriving from India every day.
My old group at MS was laid off (all blue badges) and the work outsourced to Chinasoft.
The last stand is to work on a US citizens only program.
I just moved out to WA, about 18 months ago, and am at MS. I’m finding the same thing... I have many friends from India, but quite honestly, how can we be bringing any of them over here when unemployment is 15+%? It’s scandalous.
