    You are all vastly overpaid...

    Looks like even the Big Mac at lunchtime will have to be cut from my routine now.

    "With rates like these, it must be difficult for companies looking to cut IT costs to justify not sending projects offshore."

    ....unless, of course, said companies would like said projects to be delivered on time and on spec?

    And if they don't then what is the point of said companies even starting said projects in the first place?
    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

          "it is now possible to hire an IT specialist in India for about $16 per hour"
          Which ignores the obvious suffix:

          "who will be sh!t"

                I get at least one email and one phone call a week for this company.

                Now wonder I've just had to take a 25% cut in rate and my business is now turning over less than my salary at my last permanent job.
