I agree pretty much on this, the condition is same in my country Nepal, most of here take it as part time job and they are not speciallized on this sector this the reason i guess people here are not expert and course here are also outdated in comparision to of other country.

The poor quality of hiring in IT companies is the reason for it.
GOD DAM, there is no basic qualification required to be there. Any graduate can write software code, that seems to be happening just about at each place and particularly hiring friends and peers just because they find this as only source to earn money. If each one in India is gonne enter into programming then what are the other sectors gonne do?

I am so sick of calling tech support and getting someone whose English is so garbled I spend half the phone conversation saying.. ” excuse me can you repeat that”
I grew up in a multilingual household and I am used to thick accents but really the tech support nowadays is just unbearable. I have, on most occasions, received such poor service from untrained staff that in most cases I have to find a friend who can assist. The companies believe they are saving money but in actuality they are getting ripped off because the outsourced employee is worthless and you end up with a negative feeling toward the company that is using them.

I needed to rant on why outsourcing sucks. I wish I could name ONE incident in which through outsourcing I received superior service but it hasn’t happened yet.

Maybe it’s true. But our American senior java architect does not correspond even to a middle-level developer of our team. Situation is same at the neighbouring project. Those architects earn about 150k. It just means outsourcing can be different. I am from Ukraine.

do you even know what you are saying?

probably you worked for a crappy outsourcing company that’s why you are saying this junk.

either: you want to put up an outsourcing company and doing this to discourage others; you do crappy work and gets away with it; or you are fired from work and bitter about this issue.

if you must know, outsourcing is made in order to fit the need of the client company. while there are some outsourcing companies which produces rotten software, there are more which does the right stuff. why would you buy pre-made a point of sale system which doesn’t suit your company (with features that you don’t need and/or lacking features that you need)? why would someone buy a commercialize ATM software (wouldn’t it be odd if every ATM’s you see uses the same software, only the logo differs?)?

it’s like manufacturing cars, they don’t do the entire thing. they outsource the engine, and other parts from companies who specialize on that field. outsourcing is not only making medium sized software. its letting others do what you don’t want to do. it’s being done globally. done by apple in their iphone. done by computer manufacturers. Microsoft also outsources.

the problem with you is… you have narrowed your mind to “outsourcing on crappy software companies” and did not took into consideration that people from big software industries started as an untrusted company as well.

do some research, get some proofs, verify every information you get and think before writing. this post of yours indirectly says “hey! i outsource and i am doing crappy work, still i earn cheap money”.
