Isn't that little anecdotal? Yes agreed there is, social bias against people who want to do start up. But I see many people coming up against that and starting up their own startups. Agreed majority are still sweating in IT services, but we don't expect them to do startups anyways.

In fact, If OP was able to hire a single guy who is good and works remotely, that single guy is 100% startup material (otherwise, he would have been already employed at big IT service company) and very likely to start on his own few years down the line.



Actually, my guy was employed at a big IT shop (Microsoft, not an outsourcing shop). He quit since he felt he was stagnating.


Of course its anecdotal. The original article from jplarson that we are all responding to is also highly anecdotal.

But you have a good point about the OP's hire. I'm also very glad to hear youngsters are starting to do their own thing. :-)
