Are these telecommuting positions?


The problem with "telecommuting positions" is that if they want
telecommuters, they want Indian, Chinese, or Eastern European
telecommuters, or people willing to work for those types of wages.


The cost is actually a very small factor in overseas hiring in the
software industry. Our two main motivating factors are 1) we want a
large pool to hire from, in the U.S. right now its very much an
employees market, its hard for employeers to find "good" (not the high
school kids that were hired during the internet bubble, real engineers
with real engineering degrees) programmers to pick from and 2) Since a
large amount of sales come from overseas its hard to explain to a
foreign country or company why they should buy your product if you
don't spend any money in their country (i.e. "why should I buy your
product if you won't hire anyone from my country")? Its the same
reason Boeing subs out the 777 all over the world, those country are
customers too.
BTW: The cost savings in India for programmers is all but totally
gone. China will always have a small roll because of the extream
language difference. Eastern Europe is probably going to see a large
increase in technology hiring in the near term.

Robert,

Let me guess... you are in a high-cost large city job market, right?

I am an Electrical Engineer with 20 years of design experience in both
hardware and software, and in Idaho I make $80K a year, which is
pretty typical. Not many 6 figure salaries here. Plus, HP has been
laying off so many people in Boise that there are lots of folks in the
market for an engineering position. Not an employees market here! I
wish it was!
