Tackling human resource related issues like employee attraction and retention and high wage cost are some of the internal challenges confronting the IT services export industry.

Not much is reported about this aspect but the Indians in Bangalore and elsewhere are jobjumping like crazy to get raises and promotions. It's a gold rush mentality there. The Indian employers are cheaper than US employers in general re benefits and wages. US companies are being charged $28/hr for project leaders and $20 for programmers in IT for offshore work. The pressures will drive this up.

Indian employers are also blacklisting those who switch jobs.

But the pointy-haired boss response to this will be to shift outsourcing away from India to China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The IT wage will drop even further. Our best hope is a security meltdown in outsourced software.

That's one side of this I frankly admit I didn't consider. The wage slaves don't relish the prospect of remaining slaves.

Won't help anything in this country, though.
