What do you think programmers in offshoring consulting shops are? Sadly.
replyExactly. I work in a consulting company as a customer facing staff consultant - highest level - specializing in cloud + app dev. We don’t hire anyone less than staff in the US. Anything lower is hired out of the country.
replyThat’s exactly my point. “Programming” was clearly becoming commoditized a decade ago.
Ah, so you’re happy with the sweatshop existing - and you look down on those who work there. Good to know.
replyI said nothing about looking down on them - I assure you developers in other countries don’t see themselves in sweatshop conditions.
replyBut while you are clutching your pearls, where do you think your computer, clothes etc are being made?
I worked with developers from 6 other countries (the “america first” slogan of the ruling part is missing a fine print that should read “americans last”) and not only are they not in sweatshop conditions, most of them live like kings on salaries they are making and are more “white collar” in their country than most SWEs here
