I was brought in to replace an Indian QA Manager who spent my first month training me on the Process in place. But the cost win for the company wasn't in replacing the Manager with me but in replacing the 4 offshore resources he was managing with less expensive resources from the Philippines for me to get up to speed.
After they got up to speed in 6 months I was let go as they made the senior offshore resource the QA Lead.
American coders are the best in the world, period.
