Perhaps you already are.
Apparently some “large” contractor accountancy companies already outsource the work to India.

I would bet a lot of those guys come to London and get a job for 30k and realise that they wehre better off earning 5k in India than 30k in London.

The figures dont mean diddly as the cost of living is no where near as bad as here in England.

Yes some do come to the UK, and no they are not worse off. They get free accommodation and can save lots. What gets me is that they cost as much as a UK worker, and yet UK companies employ them. Some are good, a few are very good, but many are mediocre, and a few are awful. The problem is that from a bean counter's perspective they look good on paper. They can get N workers for X months for a given number of gold coins.

They also get the chance to see another culture, and maybe appreciate India, or scarper and become a UK resident as often happens.

Colleagues with children are not encouraging their kids to go into IT as they consider that off-shoring has killed job prospects.
