Good point. I guess the language barrier was another issue, with English obviously being more popular than German, so "Indians in India taking our IT jobs" wasn’t really a thing.
Except that Germany and Austria have an obsession to outsource, or more accurately nearshore everything to Poland, Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, Czech Republic, etc. so dev wages there hold no candle to the ones in the US or even UK and the only path to decent pay is going into management.
