I disagree. When you look at how many young people were scammed by College for their chosen major and then actively bootcamped their way into Tech, you realize there is a strong commitment within the country to fill these industries.
We really don’t need to contract out at all. I’m sorry my Indian friends, but Jonathan at the local community college has been learning AWS too. But don’t fret, you guys have a billion people in your country and they need tech too - stay there, and improve it.
- Spooky23 5y agoFor AWS, sure. Hire ops folks for $60-75k and they turnover pretty quick or move up. If you do a formal mentoring and training program, you’ll “grow” 80% of those folks. It’s tough to do for a smaller company, you can pay one skilled worker a wage 3x the semi-skilled worker and get 5x-10x the output. Good luck finding that COBOL programmer.
- crate_barre 5y agoThey are not importing COBOL developers man. I know 3-4 members on my team that do Angular. It’s a scam.
