Indian Software Firm Outsourcing Jobs To US

phobos13013 writes "NPR is reporting Indian software maker Wipro is outsourcing positions to a development office opening in Atlanta, Georgia. Although it sounds good for US job growth, the implication is that firms outside the US appear to be dominating more and more in the global economy, even from developing and underdeveloped regions of the world. Similarly, salaries of IT professionals world-wide are projected to stagnate or possibly fall due to the large pool of qualified applicants in the market today."

If you are going to outsource code, do it to someplace COLD. The Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Russia, etc. All of those countries seem to have unusually large supply of good coders. The only problem is that you end up with functions like b0rk(B0rk *bork) { }

I love this game!

U.S. companies outsourcing jobs to foreign countries: bad for the U.S.

So does this mean that when Indians call for tech supported, they will get angry because they can't understand the American accent of someone claiming to be Raehan?

Or, as Scott Adams has put it....

Dilbert is just visionnary :

• strip 1 (and here is some text to feed the spam filter)
• strip 2 (again some text to please the spam detector)
• strip 3 (sorry SlashCode : this isn't ads for viagra, these are actual dilbert strips)

Swedish code is still legible
