[quote=Anonymous]Yes there is a lot of outsourcing to India and Phillapines in non-Fed IT work. It used to be development, but now it's all testing: integration, system, automated testing scripts, etc. Also some functional and technical designs. However I'm in Federal IT consulting now and we outsource development and testing to low cost of living locations - think South and Southwest states. To have a high salary in IT, you need to be selling work or managing projects and teams. I can get decent, young SAP and Oracle developers (US citizens) working remote who live in Frederick or Wilmington for cheap. For niche skills, the fees are higher, but a lot of those jobs don't exist outside DC anymore due to outsourcing the junior jobs and experienced foreign nationals being widely available. Gone are the days when a consulting company could "back up the school bus" and have a bunch of fresh analysts learn on the job. [/quote]
