>In the US, the top 15% of the market is in Silicon Valley Wait. What? Sure, there's a concentration of talent in SV, but to simply say that the top 15% of all U.S. IT talent is there is pretty myopic. I get your point overall (though I am not saying I agree). But, had to point out that you tossed out your belief as a "stat", as if it were some well-established fact. Likewise, with your (admittedly) anecdotal observations on Indian teams. Pretty broad generalizations you seem to operate on. We're entitled to our opinions, but what's ironic is that a worldview that rests on sweeping generalizations about groups of people is actually self-limiting.
