Wipro actually has consultants from 24 different nationalities working for
them. In fact, I
have a friend (white) I contracted with in North Carolina who was just hired by
Miracle
Software Systems (an India based company) for a long-term contract in Hawaii
where Miracle is
only making about a 10% profit and he will make a huge 6 figure salary each
year!
As far as the AS400 / iSeries not doing well, it really depends on the are you
live, your
skill level, how well you network, and in my personal opinion (my personal
relationship with
God) who has proven time and time again that He's in control!

Jonathan,
The $64 question is this: Would Wipro hire you if you applied for a job, or
do they only
use their people? I don't think they exactly have an open hiring policy.

Come on Don that's neither a fair statement nor accurate. I understand that
offshore
outsourcing has affected the IT community but it has nothing to do Bush nor
does it have
anything to do with Indian's working for 12K a year.
Before you criticize at least understand the shift within the industry.
Don't get bitter,
get better.
I've worked directly with consultants from the world's largest offshore
outsourcing
company, Wipro Technologies. Just like any other company they have good,
average, and
below satisfactory employees. The company is an India based company and
employs over
42,000 consultants worldwide.
I understand US corporations have outsourced IT jobs causing many IT
professionals to
reconsider their career paths. No doubt this has had a significant affect on
the US
economy. Those of us who stick around should understand the offshore
business; pros and
cons of outsourcing as well as the strengths and weaknesses offshore
employees.
If you think the Indians have devestated the market leaving the US IT
industry destitute,
look out for the Chinese who are coming in with bill rates even lower than
the average
India based companies.
I can't tell any of you a drop dead strategy for moving foward. However, my
personal
strategy is to continue to produce high quality, cost effective, and timely
solutions to my
clients.....network like crazy....and partner with as many Indian companies
that I can!
Call me crazy but if I know that Wipro just signed over a $3 billion dollar
contract with
GM, I also know that they will need stateside resources for some of the work
and trust me,
Wipro's rates stateside are compatible to any other mainstream consulting
company (i.e.
TekSystems, Ajilon, Kforce, etc.)
