Third world citizen here. Here is the simplified rosy image of outsourcing that I have in my dollar starved brain. Outsourcing helps spread the monies. Without outsourcing, many cs guys in argentina would never work for a tech company. Without outsourcing many wouldn't get a cs degree in the first place. With outsourcing third worlders get better salaries. This creates local competition and an eventual increase in the baseline salaries for cs guys in that third world country. North american companies then move on to a different third world country say india. Salaries there rise too. Then they move on to vietnam, bangla desh and so on. Eventually baseline salaries everywhere becomes the same and outsourcing stops making sense. Benefits whom?: third world country and the company Negatively affects: north american cs grads. They will have to wait till everyone in the world is getting the same salary. So according to my calculations, let outsourcing be for the next 500 or so years and the world will appreciate your sacrifice. Till then think of starting companies because the company and third worlders will benefit. Believing this helps me sleep at night.
