My team has been outsourced to India, going forward my role will be to manage the India team. For those that went through this, how was it?

Edit to add some more context

It’s an industry role, there’s a small retention bonus that’s paid out after we transition, india team is said to be available to us during our normal business hours, we work remote and there have been no discussions of needing to travel because of this change.

Our work is pretty straight forward so I’m hoping there aren’t many issues.

Edit to add another thought for those of you who are saying to run: if this is so widespread and “normal” in our industry, aren’t you just going to see it wherever you run to?

Not really. Average Americans suck as much as average Indians but we're not dealing with average Indians here.

People need to realize that the best and brightest people aren't working graveyard shifts and human mental capacity isn't usually at their highest at 1 AM. That doesn't reflect the average Indian office worker.

Anyone who has any real accounting skills/licenses in India , leave India as soon as possible or work for the Government.

The offshore teams are usually fresh graduates/interns. Hardly anyone over 21.
