Jobs to India -- A Broad Look

dumpster_dave writes "Wired has an excellent 7 page article on the current and future trend and nature of IT outsourcing from the United States. The conclusion: the smell of inevitability--the economy will survive, though your job, as it is currently, will likely not. Outsourcing is expected to expand from Service and code projects to the creative aspects as well, with obvious correlations experienced in the manufacturing industry during the 70s and 80s. An excellent read that provides good coverage of the perspectives of players on all sides."

Re:Offshoring my own job

There are a _ton_ of well qualified people out of work as a result of nothing more than circumstance. Those people could easily be doing your job much better than you and your co-conspirator. I hope you sweat bullets and feel sick about what you are doing. Your going to get so fired when (not if) your employer finds out about this. Have fun bullshitting your way through meetings, wondering how your job gets done. You should save all the money you make from this job, so that when you're canned and out of work for more than 5 years; you might have a shot at being able to feed yourself.

You're forgetting something -- foreigners aren't allowed to work in India.

Don't you know free-trade only works in one direction?
