Sounds like a non-IT person to me
I work in a company and have been working with offshore teams since I got out of university, while there is continual pressure to push more offshore because it *appears* to be cheaper, it often costs more in the long run, it strictly depends on how experienced the people employed onshore and offshore are.
There are many positions that are extremely hard to offshore, and there are some that are extremely easy to offshore, most of the easy ones were off-shored years ago, both IT and non-IT.
The the guys saying there is "no issue in IT" in this thread, you obviously don't work for a consulting company....consultants are out of favor at the moment, while permanents are becoming more attractive.
IT budgets are been cut, so there is less project spending, but in support things are still fine, I mean companies need to keep running
Curious about how the other IT companies are doing....
