Over the past decade, American graduates in software and computer-related disciplines have encountered a challenging job market, they are facing a multitude of challenges:

    1. Off-shoring of software jobs – Majority of IT providers, including Government contractors outsource jobs to cheap labor costs foreign countries like India, Philippines, Indonesia, China, etc. leaving scarce opportunities for the American graduates.
    2. Foreign software work-visas – According to USCIS data for FY 2022, approximately 407,000 H-1B work visas were issued annually to foreign workers to enter and work in US, further limiting job opportunities available to American graduates.
    3. US Grads lack practical software skills – American graduates especially from Tier-3, Tier-4 colleges lack contemporary, applied software development skills. It is a challenge to find “job-ready” U.S. graduates who can contribute effectively.
    4. Struggling US software providers – US based software service vendors are struggling to remain competitive against foreign based counterparts because of poor service quality, missed project timelines, budget overruns, and outdated management practices.

While offshore software providers offer cost advantages, the services come with significant challenges. Common issues include poor software quality, IP-theft, confidential data loss, communication barriers, increased management overhead, and high employee turnover rates. These factors can undermine project outcomes, reduce efficiency, and pose long-term strategic risks to clients.
