The problem with law and accounting is that the skills are country-specific. You can outsource software or radiology because computers and bodies are pretty much the same across the world, but a Chilean lawyer does not know USA law (and vice versa), nor does an Albanian accountant know USA tax law. So you can't "reuse" the existing specialists, you have to train them for a weird niche that will be usable only for outsourcing, since they can't serve local customers with knowledge about USA principles, which are different.
- ThalesX 5y agoWhile I agree that you need to retrain, I think the economic incentives might push some people to say, "instead of training for my Chilean law practice, I'd rather learn the ins and outs of the USA law so that I may outsource for double or triple the money I would make". Of course this is just wild speculation, but I feel like the dollar's power has the ability to alter career choices.
