When sending my system administration job to India in June, the last thing anyone cared about was the security of data, or who was going to ensure audit procedures were carried on in a sufficient manner. I was only given 2 1/2 days to train my Indian counterpart to take my security admin job. For two years I worked under security procedures that were considered extremely important in regards to audit compliance and in the remaining last few hours of my job the manager in charge of transition to offshore called and said "Who's going to to the audit??" Duhhhhh, I told him they guy who just took my job - you know the one that just flew back to India...

I swear I thought I would get called back or extended for a month BUT our company was severly overbudget even BEFORE the offshore cutover date even started. So here I sit, unemployed after a 15 year IT career..42 years old..just kissed my $70,000 a year job goodbye.

I lost my $84,600 developer/network architect job at the age of 29 in September of 2001. So, trust me, I know what you mean.

A good amount of proprietary information is heading overseas. It's company and personal info. The countries that the data is going tend to be much more corrupt than the US. If you think Enron was bad, wait till you see what foriegn organized crime can do with everyone's SS number and the heart of the US banking system in its clutches.

Some companies will get burned early and come back to the US. Sorry to hear about your job. I hope you find a new one soon. Good luck.
