- taylodl 9y agoThat ship has done sailed. American firms have learned what makes sense to offshore and what doesn't. Hence the carnage.
- nradov 9y agoAmerican firms learned that once they have thousands of resources in India it's more cost effective to just hire them as direct employees instead of going through an outsourcing company. In the long run this probably works out better for everyone, except the owners of the outsourcing companies.
- trhway 9y ago>it's more cost effective to just hire them as direct employees it also makes it easier to bring them later (after 1 year) into US on L1 without all these limitation of H1 like prevailing wage, yearly cap, spouse of L1 can work, GC seems to be easier (at least that seemed to be the case 10 years ago when I last paid attention to immigration)

- falkoooo 9y agoWell german firms aren't there yet in my opinion. They propagate offshoring as the opportunity to lower costs by 90% while preserving the same quality. In my company the last "transformation" talk made clear that no department will be left untouched in the next off and near shoring activities..

- monkmartinez 9y agoI am not that old, but I remember reading a headline like this on Slashdot once... The results have been less than stellar. When my non-tech enabled friends complain about tech support, it's usually with a fake Indian accent. I think the "IT professional" in India has hurt quite a few off-shoring companies.
