Need a Job? Move to India
WhoDaresWins writes "As U.S. jobs move abroad, more Americans are willing to work overseas like in India as per a CNN.com story. The story talks about many Americans and also Indians who are American citizens moving to India for work. This story should be an eye opener to people who feel Americans cannot work in India. With a booming economy there is a need for skilled professionals with years of experience in a western enconomy and industry. Best of all, job listings are available online." Thomas Friedman has a piece called The secret to India's success.
Its not that simple to get a visa to India.
There is actually a loophole in the laws there that provide a relatively easy means for an american to get a visa and open a party store. It was mentioned here previously on slashdot. All those Indian programmers need Jolt and beef jerky to keep them going on those long nights.
Life is the leading cause of death in America.
Then explain to me this whole H1B visa mess. Its DAMN easy to get a visa here to work in the computer field. TOO easy.

Amazing, isn't it, how people whine about losing jobs, then when you show them where the jobs are, they give you all sorts of reasons why they can't take THAT job, and then continue to whine about losing jobs.
You can tell a great deal about the character of a man by observing those who hate him.
So I guess this means that you will set a shining example by jumping on the next plane to Bangalore to seek your fortune? Please? We don't need traitors like you in this country.
I am playing with the India Monster and they do have a lot of jobs for System Administrators in India. My question is, what part of India do the people not smell?
I know that sounds racist but I really like the Indians (The nicest, friendliest, hardworking people you'll ever meet), but concept of taking a shower everyday has not caught on with them.

India is the most densly populated country in the world.
I'd rather stick to canada, lose my programming job and raise cattle than live in that digusting pile of feces country.
fucking polluted to the max.
The cost of living here is NOT too high. You're just spoiled. You know, a construction worker making $36k a year does just fine in this country. You're just whining because you've found out that you're NOT worth $96,000 a year and you're ego can't take it.
India has shown that programmers are worth about $30-$40k as a rule. You want to make more than that, then you need to find a different field.
Sorry to pop your ego, but what companies are realizing is that programming is not quite the highly skilled labor everyone thought it was.
Personally, I don't know why this is surprising. Anything a 16-year old can master is not a terribly skilled profession.

Materially, yes. Culturally, the US is a stinkhole.

stood out as exceptionally wrong. You do realize that the guest worker program Bush proposed is still only a proposal, right? And so those illegal immigrants are still illegal, right? Here's some help if you need it.
If it ain't broke, you need more software.
htf did this get moderated Interesting? Friggin flaimbait troll.
In case you are actually the ignorant 12 year old you're acting like: 1) Read some fucking history. 2) Just because you were lucky enough to have been born in the USA doesn't mean you have a right to be here. 3) When was the last time a foreigner harmed you? Try looking at how American businesses are screwing over America so that a few rich people can get richer.
