Fine, I got you fam. At the last large corporation I worked at, they got rid of most of the inside embedded device engineers and outsourced design to India and Japan. The reasoning was probably something like we spend $X on engineering staff here, whereas we could spend $Y to outsource development of the same products, where $Y < $X. Whoever made that decision made a fat bonus and left. The time necessary to determine the real value of that decision takes a few years, after that guy was gone. Anyway, most of the outsourcing ended up being a huge waste of money and put one of our flagship products a year behind schedule. The company has since moved embedded development back inside.
