Outsource to other country or outsource to third party company? I just wonder if it can save cost.

Outsourcing make me quite depressed for my future.

Unfortunately, both aha. Outsourced to another company in a different country.

But the one thing I will stress, these organisations do not require quality development work. It has been raised multiple times that they will not get the same level of quality as they did before, but they believe that the benefits outweigh the business risks.

Development will be the next "office job", so it's not going to go away. In fact, it's the old corporation mentality that is doing this, and that mentality is fading very fast.

In summary, I wouldn't worry: You're in one of the safest industries to be in, as long as you keep being good as your job :)
