Hi guys!
I recently came across few interesting articles, which emphasize that more and more IT jobs are being outsourced overseas (especially to India) and most IT professionals in Europe and USA will soon face massive lay-offs as a result of this. In addition, I've also spoken to a friend of mine who specializes in app development and another friend who is a pro-coder working for Facebook. Both of these friends confirmed the fact that fear among IT professionals of their tasks being outsourced is very real and growing.
What's your take on this situation? Do you believe that most IT tasks will eventually be sub-contracted/outsourced to countries where labor doesn't cost anything and most guys from Europe and USA will face massive layoffs, or do you think that such possibility is over-rated and over-exaggerated by media and people who are naturally insecure?
Just some food for thought. Interested to hear your opinions on this.
