10. To an extent I agree, but they'd replace them too if they could.

I've been in IT for the last 32 years, the first 8 permanent, the next 22 as a contractor and the last 2 back permanent for an American pharma company here in Europe.

I worked with an Indian guy on a project in Scotland. He was put in there by one of big 5 consulting services, brought over from their Mumbai office. In fact had been constantly on the road for them over the previous 14 years. Really smart guy, excellent English, and he was a project lead with in-depth knowledge of the application. They were charging him out at about $200 an hour to the client and he was earning the equivalent of $16,000 a year, but they would pay for an apartment, a living allowance and a flight home every 6 months. They brought his new wife over a couple of years before, and they got to see Europe on the company.
