Programming 330

One other thing here you know nothing *clown*, that $20 an hour minimum wage that I doubt that you're even making that, you entry level or you may not even have a job in the industry you Howard Stern butt kissing little turd, you need to $20 * 2 minimum, $20 * 3 mid-range, and $20 * 4 and up top level .NET contractor.

And in a town of 90K where they do have a multi billon dollar global manufacturing company in the middle of corn country head quartered there and manufacturing plants there and around the world, they paid a .NET developer $100K to start fulltime. And that $3500 you think I paid for an MCP -- no way or an MCAD - no way when I get that, was paid by the company on me and for each client server programming staff member training each 8 hours a day for four weeks on the ins and outs of .NET as they flew in a .NET guru from India to train the staff -- not the contractors. That compnay that runs mainframe and client server platforms will hire contractors from India or any where they can get them, bring them on site and have them do what is needed new development or maintenance and send them packing. There is absolutely no way that company is going to send anything off shore to be programmed.

The same holds true for the billion dollar medical company I am now working at as a contractor with the 3 guys from India. It is heavily regulated and audited, there is absolutely no way, that company is going to send anything off shore to be programmed and they meet their programming business needs by hiring contractors when needed any where they can get qualified people.

There are many companies in the US that have that similar situation and will not outsource the programming needs of the company unless they bring in outside contractors on site to for fill staffing needs. There may be a need to have some offshore development work for 3rd party canned packages. But if the programming needs for the day to day business operations of a company like the ones above and there many, many and more many of those companies like that in the US, they are going to have in-house staff or have contratcors come in when needed for their outsourcing to complete programming business needs for the company. They are not sending anything offshore there is no way that's going to happen -- NONE.
