Two points: 1. I'm not an IT guy. I build the back-end systems for a website that is used by millions. A far cry from running servers for a branch office, etc. 2. The guy in Bangalor CAN'T do my job. It's been tried. I have made a TON of money doing haz-mat duty cleaning up the messes made by off shoring.

Depends on the company. And granted I don't know what your company does. But the difference IMO is product vs. in-house. The software I work on IS our product. Not something that supports operations, etc. Writing code that is going to a server farm that is responsible for collecting the $400M / year in revenue is very different that writing code for the in-house accounting system.

![]() I think there might be a principle behind FM's rant. Some people sacrifice money for lifestyle in their careers. I would be making a lot more if I went into investment banking or consulting, but it wasn't the life I wanted. But I think people make those same lifestyle decisions in other states, not just Utah. And a more standard job like business or IT--I'm not sure it's gonna be that different Utah to another place apples to apples job. |

LOL, touche. I like your feistiness. Well, I'm sorry you couldn't find your dream job in Utah, FM. Maybe it's more competitive for the high paying jobs here, and it's easier in Texas. |

I laugh every time I see the look on their faces when I advise them to spend as much as they can to ensure they secure the greatest achieving knowledge workers out there whether they are high end back bone gurus or handymen with degrees in sanitation engineering. Sustainability can only be achieved through nurturing the IC within the company. When all is said and done, that is where the value truly lies. Not in the accumulation of inanimate assets.
