<p>I am an IT manager at a bank. I still like to do most of development onshore, especially mission critical applications. At the minimum, I would want the design to be done onshore. Our main office is in Lon. Recently Lon had a major upgrade that they could do for over a year. They finally asked for a swat team from the US to go over. It was done in a month. So, yes, I do believe we still have the best here. We used to do a lot more offshore, now we are bringing those jobs back again.</p>
<p>I know managers that don't like phone calls in the wee hours of the morning, that don't like to travel to Asia (they have kids) frequently and that don't have to deal with people not showing up to work because they got a new job down the street.</p>
