Outsourcing - effects on jobs #15

Closed sbchin closed 8 years ago

sbchin commented 8 years ago

Just started listening to Javascript Jabber - great podcast. I only have 200+ podcasts to catch up. I listened to podcast #180 and it brought this question to mind.

How does offshoring affect developers getting jobs in the US? Is programming a dead end career in the US due to outsourcing?

I am an IT manager in a major financial firm and we outsource 80% of our programming jobs.

Thank you

@sbchin lol! Glad you like it! I don't feel it's a big concern here. From what I've heard, the improvement in team communication more than makes up for the potentially lower pay rate. Hope that helps!
