I agree

I remember some 10 years ago when delivery truck driving jobs were outsourced. I watched as they sold off the assets and contracted out the jobs. Today they pay 25% more than they would have if they had just kept the drivers.

Saw this happen to many accountants and bookkeepers too. Funny thing is these people took the lay off and went into contract work and eventually ended up working under a contract for the company that laid them off and they got paid almost double for the same job.

So how long will it be before the costs for Indian programming becomes to high and lacks the quality. Will these corporations be hiring back contract positions to get the work done and pay a lot more in the end?
