Sometimes you want the talent close. Sometimes you want critical parts close. Sometimes you want your neighbor to have a job.
Until there's a working Basic Income; I prefer keeping most jobs/products close.
- hallway_monitor 5y agoWhy just until then, if ever? Keep the money local. As for programming jobs, I think most people who have been in the field for a while have seen plenty of examples of how offshoring doesn't work, and from what I've seen this is known in the c suite as well.
- imtringued 5y agoThe fundamental problem with offshoring is that you always want to keep important products in house. If the product isn't important you can offshore it but you can also just not do it.
- knz_ 5y agoCompanies are already trying to flood the market with H1Bs to suppress wages and pushing people towards CS and STEM degrees in general. They don't need to do anything special, in 10 years the market will be flooded and you will be competing with someone who is willing to work 10+ hrs/day for half the wage.
- thatguy0900 5y agoSounds like what the game dev market already is.
- nradov 5y agoThere are problems with the H-1B visa program but it's hardly flooding the market. Congress has held the quota stable for the past several years. https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/h1b-visa-program-fact-sheet https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/h1b-visa...
