The bean counters sure didn't care, this was blatantly obvious even two decades ago. I don't fault the outsourcing companies it's nothing different than what occurs with American consulting outsourcing before offshoring: get the deal signed, get the responsibilities transferred, and milk the cow. The anti nerd bias of american culture means that IT is less respected than even blue collar workers by management. The higher salaries of IT are begrudgingly given. I predict over the next two decades they will collapse to what typical engineers are paid: as in it's more lucrative to be a plumber
