Not too long ago, I got a call from some outfit that did IBM support for my state.
The guy tried a hard sell approach too. Anyway to handle about a page of responsibilities plus a lot of roadtrips, I was offered the princely sum of 12 an hour with no overtime. He thought I would be thrilled, it was all I could do not to laugh at him. I’m sure an H1b probably got pegged for the job for even less.
They still want some Americans in the tech sector. Their responsibility is to work with the team working abroad (at different hours, requiring you to be in the office before sunrise so that you can conference with them while they are still at their office), to be a fall guy when “the team” is behind schedule, and to communicate with the mid-level managers (and above) at meetings so they don’t have communication problems with persons with Indian accents.
