Yeah, the offshoring boom is over. Everyone is bringing those roles back to the US. The communication, cultural and skill gaps are too great and costs aren’t that much lower anymore. Anyone who has worked on virtual teams will back up how much less productive things are when having to juggle time zones even between the east and west coast of the US, much less different countries without overlapping work hours. Nobody wants to offshore to India anymore because the business culture at the big body shops is totally unethical by western standards and there’s just an expectation of getting swindled on QoS; so people only ship low-value jobs like customer service over there. And even those are moving to South America for time zone reasons (and the business culture more closely aligns with the US).
