    Or, the UK people cock it up a bit less badly, but at 3X the price, so management figure they might as well off-shore

    You're right about your being able to find a job easily for the time being, but that refelects on a European shortage, such that even mediocrities like you find jobs.

    Your hubris will be punished eventually, and it will be deserved.
