Well, I just tried to get a job in my company's QA department writing unit tests. Come to find out, my company ONLY hires non-leadership/senior positions in Belarus and Bangalore. I have friends in management, they can't bypass it. Rule was set high up.
The job I interviewed for is managing teams over in those places, and I'm not entirely qualified because I haven't worked in QA. So I'm just left no where. I always thought if I worked hard and did the right things, I could get ahead. It's not true.
I don't know if I'll ever achieve my goals without moving to India to get a job, then working my way back to the USA. But it certainly might be related as to why only half of 30 year olds earn more then their parents did. I'm going to keep trying but I've worked so hard and have a great reputation at work. I've done so much on my own time.

I for one, am fairly demoralized.
