What matters even more is the inferior quality of offshore work - which has moved a number of companies to 're=shore' in recent years.

So my daughter has told me.

She is highly valued, at least at present.

Here are some things I have encountered with offshores and H1B's:

• Code meant to deal with 100s of 1000's of records, failing under a load of 188 records -- coded in the absolute worst-efficiency manner possible.
• Code that made it through dev testing, SIT testing, and QA testing ... that was never once ran, and then failed in prod.
• Copy-paste code style, where the understanding of what the code is actually doing, is nonexistent.
