I see less and less H1B and offshoring over time.
It goes like this. Unless you know EXACTLY what you want, getting output out of offshore techies or their onshore equivalents is a giant PITA. Totally not worth it. It is a really hard way to save money. I've seen many companies give up after a few failed attempts.
Funny, I see all sorts of high paying jobs where H1Bs and offshoring are NEVER an option. To make either one work, you need well thought out and detailed requirements and time. You also need some cultural understanding to work within a "team".
I see less and less of both as time goes on.
Before you get too involved in the algorithm's performance, it helps to get a handle on the numbers. This look at the numbers is equal parts morbid, funny and sad.

I really think this is crap, I once quit the same job three times over a two year period. No one ever tried to "shaft" me.
The first time it was to work at a rival startup during a takeover, my employer matched the cash/options/perks and whatnot. In addition, I was not forced to sign a bullshit non compete agreement, which is why I started looking in the first place.
The second time I was fed up with the type of projects I was getting, and planning on working at a friends' startup. My employer relocated to London with a free flat (4 years later still double my mortgage), cost of living bonus, and budget to fly back when I needed.
I quit for good when I got back from London, about a year later.
Never say never. The key is honesty, there is nothing wrong with seeing what is out there and might make youy happier.

Bullshit, the trains are fine ... even the 2am "vomit commit".
