Somebody is offering huge $$$$ to move American jobs offshore. Do these recruiters need a Freepin'?

That's not "huge $$$" for a decent IT sales rep. In fact it's low-to-median at best.

Still, I'd feel like an absolute schmuck running around the Midwest and trying to ship American jobs to India. Maybe a down-and-out former IT recruiter will be desperate enough to take it.

An interesting question is whether Wipro (and the other Indian outsourcers) will have to hire American sales reps to do their dirtywork here in the States. My company competes with a firm that is 100 percent H1-B on the development side, yet the maintain an American sales force and execs to interface with customers.

"shortage of IT professionals"?
