What they're doing right is providing minimum viable technical ability at bargain basement prices. One wonders how that's going to work in a situation where their costs are dramatically higher because they're hiring Americans.

Maybe the cost of an American has come down. Maybe Americans are willing to work at the rates Indians have been quietly working at. As Jack Ma would say if the damn phone costs 50 bucks to make why should an American business think it can forever keep selling it for 600 bucks. Things rebalance all the time.

They haven't, and they're not.

I beg to differ. We are seeing a rebalancing. American's don't need to be paid their 100k a year to live a middle class life style if a Chinese and Indian worker is able to live a middle class life style cheaper.

You appear to be confusing what you would like to be true today with what's actually true today.

On the contrary. Even in Indiana, domestic developer salaries are skyrocketing. Also, nobody--no American, especially--has any desire to work for Infosys.
