Wishful thinking backed up by flimsy anecdotes

Offshoring is alive, here to stay, and has made permanent changes to the IT industry in America. Why do you think IT contracting rates haven't gone up in the last 7 years?

This morning I recieved a phone call soliciting me to use there outsourced services. She had a full on Indian accent and everything.

I suppose I should have asked her why should I outsource to India when I can outsource programming to China for half the rate but I was too suprised and just told her thanks but no thanks.

It didn't mention anything about results or quality at all, which was interesting.

Welcome to the third world, Americano!
