NYC IS DEAD FOREVER… HERE’S WHY

Yes and No. If anything, working in IT has shown me outsourcing can be a total shit-show especially if it's B2B related. There's not a lot tolerance for poor results - 2 or 3 poor projects and on-shoring shifts into focus. B2C you can get away with sub-par support much more than B2B since consumers are just used to it.

Very true. I am lucky enough to witness both sides of the story - offshore for 5 years and now on shore for more than 5. I think high risk, critical projects and the ones with essential services will be on shore and cannot be pushed to offshore. Some of the IT tasks will nonetheless be outsourced though

Progressive policies are destroying many cities across the United States. People are starting to wake up to that.

Very interesting comment. I kind of agree for now.

But be careful poor result is what was happening with cheaper countries like india, brazil or eastern europe for example. But they are still there and learning. And they are devoted. And they are educated. They will prevail.

So yes I think too that many high paying jobs in America that can be done at home is definitely at risk of eroding to cheaper countries.

Pity. I was in New York about 10 years ago and I really enjoyed myself during the week I was there.

I've been to NYC and would never want to go back. Personally I think it's a sewer.
