Where are the country are you located?
The only reason I enhance my IT organization with offshore is because I could never find enough reasonably priced domestic folks to fill my ranks.
Yes, I qualified by saying, “Reasonably priced.” Do you know how many IT stooges send me their resume with little to no experience, but demand ludicrous salaries so they can bring their lack of experience into my organization and make a mess of everything? No thanks. I have enough issues even with the qualified people because of the speed at which my organization is forced to operate.
My favorites are the young guns who claim to be architects, but couldn’t architect a way for a team to finish a ham sandwich, let alone a complex IT project.
So you're going offshore to resist market forces domestically.
