There is no US IT left. These rounds will finish us off. The only good news is there is a rumor we heard that David is out looking for a new CIO again. We knew that had to come after the latest mess last month. Maybe the new one will rebuild the function back on shore. Where it belongs. The clowns in India keep sending useless code. Do you see the same? We re-do their work again and again.

@bh they dominate in the smell territory. They stink to high heaven
@as Please! Cigna su-ks wind
Kindly may I ask if you can kindly advise if I can kindly keep your job?
There is a whole spectrum of skills with offshore. Even with offshore you get what you pay for for, an from what an HIH manager told me as we’ve been trying to staff up HIH, Cigna HIH is not offering competitive rates…so we aren’t getting the best of the best most of the time in Hyderabad. Explains why my senior dev has been doing 4-5 rounds of code review when only did 1-2 with nearshore contractors and US junior devs.
@fm They are good because we had to train them to get our severance package back in the day.
@bh 20 years ago, an Indian woman I worked with said it very well. I can compete with anyone in my domain, but I can't do it at their rates. Indian developers are very good as are experienced developers from anywhere. It wasn't always this way and corporate America has made us train them for the last 25 years or so to get to this point. As Americans flee the field, it continued to be pushed offshore for savings. Now corporate America says they can't find domestic workers to fill the rolls .... I wonder why???
OP - what happened last month?
@bj when was pre Financial Crisis? Always two decades ago? Not sure how many Americans still write codes. Just google Indian IT ceo. Here you go-
Indian-origin CEOs dominate the global tech landscape, led by giants like Sundar Pichai (Alphabet/Google), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Shantanu Narayen (Adobe), and Arvind Krishna (IBM). …
@bh Wait until you see what the American Tech was like pre Financial Crisis. No way you will ever beat them in this lifetime or the next. Keep reusing our code LOL.
@OP Indians dominate IT! Hard to beat them
Yup my org is probably 90%+ Indian names in the email blasts we get lol
@OP you. Abt really belive they are being int back. It’ll be an Indian. As we know they only hire Indians. The plan is to move everything to India and the phillipines why would you hire someone that doesn’t know their culture. You are done. The IT market in this country is done. It’s been the plan for years since H1B started back in the 90s. Now it’s outsource and AI. Stop wasting your time and money and pivot to something new. Your just digging a deeper hole at this point.
I once worked for a company that was driven out to of business due to offshoring work and the resulting poor quality. This offshoring effort will also yield poor results.
Even so, I doubt the jobs come back due to AI.
