Well this is why a free market is great, if you think all these companies are doing things wrong, start your own and outcompete them.


Feel free to write me a check for the millions of seed money I'll need.


Do you actually need millions for a software consultancy? You're hiring people who wouldn't be employed elsewhere. You could pay them less and cut prices to your clients and everyone would come out better.

I mean you've spotted what you claim is a clear inefficiency. Your guys could be taking the jobs that Infosys and gang are taking.


>Do you actually need millions for a software consultancy?

Yeah, I'd need millions to be convinced to do something I absolutely don't want to be doing.


In that case even with millions you would hit a roadblock. Even the prospect of a huge reward doesn't always cure burnout.

You are assuming the companies care enough. Their current strategy is petition the government to open offshoring quotas. That's much easier and cheaper than actually figuring something out.
