Indian techies snubbing US jobs to stay home

Indian tech graduates are increasingly turning their back on western countries in favor of finding work at home.

Graduates from the Indian Institutes of Technology so called 'IITians' told Evalueserve that India was fast catching up with the US for the range and quality of career prospects.

Yeah okay, while people still continue to struggle in order to understand these guys when you call in for the out sourced help.

All you guys need to do is continue snubbing the U.S. for jobs at home, soon you'll inflate the prices enough that we'll stop outsourcing and taking in our own guys and you'll be "useless" again with your "[caught up]" technology.

lol

I think that college educated Indians, especially the ones that get job offers from the States, aren't the ones that answer your tech support calls.

And while those guys that stay at home probably won't make as much money (in dollars) as they would in the US, considering American and Indian prices they may be better off like this. And if, eventually, this brings India to the point where they switch from doing dirt cheap tech support to real software engineering, it'll be a great day for them.
