I think it is companies prerogrative to find a way to have cheaper qualified labor (within legal boundaries). Where companies fail in most cases is a qualifed/quality part of equation. Unfortunately I was in situations where given a pool of applicants I wouldn't hire any but stupid head count game is you snooze , you lose and no, management doesn't always understand addition by substraction priciple :-)

also I see a lot of developers overestimating how good they are and demanding compensation that is not realistic to what they can deliver but they are within their rights to ask and if they get it more power to them
