On the contrary. Even in Indiana, domestic developer salaries are skyrocketing. Also, nobody--no American, especially--has any desire to work for Infosys.

This is what I said recently and it worked spectacularly well. (Increased my salary by 25%.) I said: "I would prefer that you tell me what the position pays and let me decide based on that. If I suggest a number and you feel inclined t

This is precisely why Dr. Guy McPherson has predicted human extinction on earth by 2030. Methane clathrates coming from the Arctic sea floor and from Canadian and Siberian permafrost. This is the most serious threat we face now.

I speak two languages fluently: English and Russian with English being my mother tongue. I find when people speak a language other than their mother tongue, their voice is higher from the concentration it takes to make the second language.

Nearly every new programmer starts in the UI. Then, when you discover how annoying that can be, you CLAW your way out of it. I would recommend you know a backend language such as Java, .NET or Ruby. Learn it well.

The average consumer does not have money for attorneys: hence, the need for government regulation. That's why all of us pay taxes.

It's a myth that the quality is better. Experience with H-1B holders shows they produce worse quality.

I call complete bullshit. From having watched shows like NCS, we know the amount of direct evidence it takes to establish something like who was buried somewhere. Like the shroud of Turin this is just another example of wishful thinking.
