Originally posted by Menelaus View PostInteresting I just had a call from a pimp who wants me to reduce my rate to go to the Middle East based on Bob Showadiwadi being able to do it cheaper.
Pimp: Yeah, but they can do it a lot cheaper than UK resource
Me: I'm sure that they can, but they'll be tulip at it and the client won't get what they want at the end. Also, Bobs being sued in the Netherlands at the moment.
Pimp: Oh.
Me: Yeah, "oh" is right.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Originally posted by Sysman View PostI don't know what it's like nowadays but there was always a firm pecking order in the Middle East. The Europeans got better rates than the Brits, and they both got substantially better rates than the Indians. In the oil industry the septics got the best rates of all, probably because they also had the best kit for drilling and extraction.
My last permie offer was as Basel II director for a bank in Saudi at about the time that the compounds were being bombed.Comment

Originally posted by rootsnall View PostI was there when the bombings happened, it made a thoroughly unpleasant place into one to get out of asap and never return.
I was last there (before last year) in 1990/91 on Granby getting bombed and Scud'd.Comment

I had this news from the LSE drop into my inbox earlier.
London Stock Exchange Group plc (‘the Group’) has today agreed to acquire MillenniumIT, a Sri Lankan-based technology services company serving the capital markets industry, for US$30 million.
Going forward, as well as serving existing and new clients, they will be the Group’s in-house software development team, gradually replacing our current suppliers and bringing intellectual property and know-how fully within the company.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Only a new regime at the top of client Co will ever own up to how much money has been wasted by outsourcing.+50 Xeno Geek Points
