I'm a coder at an outsourcing firm in India .. So gulp , I am a bit scared :P

  Maybe you should be :D Joke aside, I thought India was getting more high-tech lately. My impression was that this outsourcing would stop soon anyway because the wages getting higher and India needs their coders for themself.

    Wages are actually lower when adjusted for inflation when compared to what IT workers used to make in the early 2000s. Also theres increased competition from Ukraine / China. But its hard to find better work in other sectors and the less said about the standard of education here the better. I really enjoy coding and I'd say that I'm better than 75 % of the coders here. But thats hardly enough to get into a place where they do the real nice work. We even have to sign an agreement whereby we're forced to work for a particular company for years and can't leave without paying a hefty fine. Atleast that never happens in North America. Good jobs are hard to come by and I'm thankful for this job.
