Hi Mark -- > All of these are valid reasons to leave the industry. One can find reasons to leave any/most of the industries these days - you say "Inidianazation of IT", I can say Tajikistanization, Uzbekinistanazation,,, (name all of ex-USSR republics as well as Chinese and even Vietnamese workers) of building business of all kinds and many other real businesses - guest-workers have got "flooded" Russia, and of course they agree to work based on ridiculous pay rate... ... but as JC say - you have the luxury to find strong small businesses there whose business will be driven by your custom development - and then you'll be safe, and there will be no need to leave our industry - just keep looking for such businesses :) > The other development lately has been major corps forcing everyone into W2 > contracts instead of more favorable 1099 or corp-to-corp arrangements. One can say this is "lightweight" maphia, another one will say - equal opportunity employment - both will be right. This World has been made a "Global Village" driven by large corporations - it will take another 50-100 or more years till the labor productivity/efficiency and life level will become comparable worldwide - and we happened to live in "changing times" to witness how this World gets more and more opened - aren't we lucky? :) Thank you. -- Shamil 31 января 2012, 18:57 от "Mark Simms" <marksimms at verizon.net>: > Very profound Shamil...and your experience with the busted development teams > is quite a tell with regards to the recent problems in the industry. > The Freedom aspect is interesting: in my current case, I've two > work-at-home-office contracts....which does provide for some freedom....er at > least "flexibility" i.e. working at 3 am to spend time AM to work-out at the > gym, etc. > When I was on remote contract, it really stunk: no flexibility, long commute, > lots of stress, lowered my health...I put on 10 lbs !
