Offshore Outsourcing: Author says H1-B Programmers no Threat
Computer World has an interesting interview with N. Sivakumar, the author of Debugging Indian Computer Programmers: Dude, Did I Steal Your Job? I’ve commented on his book before in my post “The Offshore Threat, is it Real??”
He has some fascinating statements, including:
“Five years from now, I don't think people will be willing to come to the U.S., because opportunities will be evenly matched in India”
" I strongly believe that the U.S. is the leader in the software industry"

post a commentAnd what do you think about it?
I don't think H1-B holders are a threat at all. I don't think offshore outsourcing is a threat, although certainly some jobs will go overseas. If you're in high tech, your job probably won't exist in 5 years - a job with a similar title may exist but it will be a very different job. I could have said the same thing 5 or 10 years ago and it would have been true too!
