There's a mix of opinions in this thread but I'd love to hear what this group thinks. Is offshoring going to be our demise or is it overrated? Maybe this is a "can't beat them, join them" situation?

Seems like salaries have gone up a decent amount the last few years. At least in public accounting

Seriously I don’t know what they’re getting at. A1 salaries at my firm have gone up 20k in the last four years from when I started. Maybe they’re looking at unlicensed small industry jobs?

Join them…in India..?

Salaries are more expensive and PPP is going up in the areas where we outsource over time. The long term and better solution is to automate things because eventually it will be about the same cost whether it is in house or outsourced.

Birth rates are lower in the US so likely the pool of potential resources will go down here, which could limit US business growth, so it would make sense to outsource currently

By PPP, are you referring to purchase price parity? How is that relevant when outsourcing allows a firm to earn revenue in one currency and pay expenses (labor) in a different currency?

I feel like I’m not learning anymore. At least not anything I can transfer to industry. All I know is tons of general info and I’m sort of wondering what I should do.

Curious what others think about this: a friend of mine has a couple of months of leave this fall to study for the CPA exam (they’ll be paid a reduced salary during their leave), but they mentioned they have no intention of studying for the exam, and instead plan to use that time to look for another job. This rubs me the wrong way, but wanted to hear what others think…
