Having a debate on our NYC team about the best use of offshore resources by Analysts.
Do some people abuse the resource due to laziness or lack of interest?
Does outsourcing delay your mastery of PowerPoint or Excel, especially during your first year?
Do your VPs support or frown upon this, or do they not care?
Does the current slow-down make you think twice about outsourcing work?

Hahaha right
Recently been encouraged to do this for certain things, but in my experience with the amount of errors to check it probably makes more sense to do it yourself when you have capacity, however It's good if you're busy and you shoot it off to India at night and come back to check it all in the morning. It just depends on what's going on.
Our Indian team is stellar. Great tool for getting a unique deal process off the ground while busy with other work.
Outsource the menial work like building an excel list of 400 companies within a certain sub vertical when I’m jammed with other tasks
Can always lateral to MS - no offshore team to turn to if you are really that hardo.
My BB had a policy that analysts could not send outsourcing requests because too many people abused it. Kind of ridiculous to ask your associate or VP to send an email about something small or time consuming
IMO the best use of India resources is for data digs (find out every time the company has mentioned X term in earnings calls... tell me every debt repurchase the company has done...) and easy but time consuming work like profiles, complicated charts, etc
