These type of salaries won't last long so enjoy it while you can.

:mjlol: keep saying that breh. IT is damn near recession proof. Like I said, I got hundreds of emails per month, and that's just of security/network engineer work. Not to mention DBA's, developers, Sys admins, Voice engineers, PM's, and probably a bunch of areas of IT I can't think of.

There's a reason every year it's on top of the highest paid earners list :sas2:

Companies who've been clamouring for tons of cheap foreign labor will probably get it with the election being over with.

They already tried outsourcing back in 2000. You know what happened, many of those positions came right the fukk back because the cost savings wasn't worth the issues you get by having foreign workers.

Yup. http://news.dice.com/2012/02/16/outsourcing-declines/

I think Dell brought alot of their support positions back because customers couldn't understand the technicians from India. ( I myself had a terrible experience ..lol)

( The below article, I kind of figured this was happening because some of our consultants from India are charging $$$$$$ out the ass )

""Many organizations have been beefing up their internal organizations for several years now after outsourcing a good piece of their IT work," says Phil Fersht, founder of outsourcing analyst firm HfS Research. "In many cases, IT departments have moved out too much work that requires closer interaction with the business and an understanding of the organization's institutional processes. Many have had to feel their way in learning what balance of in-house [versus] outsourced works for them."


Hacking/cracking has always been around ( still remember the days of watching teenagers trade user/passwords around in IRC chat like pokemon cards ) only difference now is companies are being forced to step up their security. I think Home depot just lost $60 Million due to a breach. no way in hell are those positions going to be outsourced to another country. Companies are losing too much money being shamed on the news/ reissuing credit cards, contacting customers etc. way way to much to risk now.

We've been trying for over 5 years now to follow a model call " Follow the sun", where we develop code during the day and offshore pickup the workload at night. It doesn't work and those exact words came out of our CIO's mouth.


Edit: How could I forgot, the work I'm doing now. Was originally outsourced, management wasn't happy and decided to create a new department and have internal resources handle it.

Ok and what routes exactly are there to take? Cant you just learn it all? I know im asking dumb questions bear with me im just trying to gather info before I go up to them folks at LSU looking stupid

There's a lot of different routes to take. software development/engineering, systems analysis, database administration, etc. I'm pretty sure there's more I'm missing, but those immediately come to mind. And the fields you can get into are pretty diverse as well (every field you can think of is running some kind of software in some capacity behind the scenes)

Congrats, breh....that's good work by you.

I just toured DTI in Dunwoody on Thursday (they wined and dined us cause they want our firm's business), very elaborate set-up. I assume y'all have some of the same clients?
