Offshoring and the impact on IT sourcing
It seems that the trend of IT offshoring policies is starting to impact the availability of US trained IT professionals. It's no surprise. Not only students are not willing to face the fate of having their job moved to a low cost location, but now, engineers are starting to move out of the job, mainly into Marketing, it seems (I would be interested to know how many seasoned developers are attending MBA schools these days ...).
Robert Mitchell seems to disagree that students contemplating an IT job should be put off by offshoring. In an article, he says :
globalization is an opportunity ... placing key human resources closer to customers in each market.
I don't really think that this is the reason why jobs are offshored in the first place ...
