Is it just my imagination or are some people in this thread making a distinction between Europeans vs (for example) Indians rather than Swiss vs Everyone Else?` I don't think anyone blames EU expats for pushing down IT rates in Switzerland do they?
Yes, they do. It is one of the most common slogans of the SVP that the Germans coming here are dumping the salaries (I promise you that I am not guilty ). A well educated Indian will not earn less here than EU immigrants and IT outsourcing is not always done to India. I know it is popular in the UK because of the common language, but the rest of Europe also outsources to the cheaper "new EU countries".
