I’ll have to say there are more and more overseas contractors located here physically in US offices. In my workplace contractors from India account for about 10-15% of the headcount as opposed to negligible (2-5%) just 3 years ago. They must have these “special talents” too. I don’t blame the company, I mean it is business after all, why pay $85,000/year average if you can hire someone for half the amount doing the same thing? Sorry, this is just a sore subject.
yup, it’s so common to find companies that have a large workforce composed of overseas contractors here in california. in some cases, it’s 80% of the total number.
you’re right – it all boils down to business. it’s cheaper to pay foreign nationals. you can probably get 3 indians for 1 american developer.
‘Nung nasa Pilipinas ako, para na ‘kong anak ng Diyos sa company na pinagtatrabahuhan ko. Ok naman ‘yung sweldo. Nung lumipat ako dito sa US, naging mortal ulit ako pero ‘yung sweldo is very comfortable and is much higher than what I used to get. At higit sa lahat, mas magaan ang trabaho. I couldn’t care less what my american counterparts are getting.
buti na lang sinabi mo agad. akala ko si tom cruise ka eh. masarap tumawa ng malakas sa harap ng computer at kahit na masabihan na baliw eh gagawin ko pa rin – in fact, i do it all the time.

patas naman ang sweldo pag dito ka na hire sa america. nag iiba lang when they hire from abroad.
hi batjay!
with regards to your ‘special talent’, it only shows that u are a true pinoy :). according to an int’l survey – “The average Filipino man masturbates five times per week, whereas the world average is four.” http://www.metronews.ca/column.aspx?id=5094&searchtype=1&fragment=False
5 times a week lang? nung binata ako eh baka 5 times 10 a week. hehehe.
kaya pala may special talent ka nga! at kaya na-isyuhan ka ng visa! hehe
magaling din akong mag barbeque.
Galing naman ng talent mo, Batjay (lol). Ibig bang sabihin niyan walang ganyang talent ang mga kano kaya nabigyan ka ng visa?(bwahahahahah)
mayroon sigurong talent ang mga amerikano kaya lang mas may talent ang mga pinoy.
here’s a lurker coming out (not out of the closet ha)
