I would only be guessing : programming, local project management, and liaison with US counterparts.
That would be my guess too. One gored ox, coming up.
It may be painful that programming and call center jobs are going overseas, but it certainly isn't the end of the US IT sector. Just from a cursory look at the fastest growing job categories and projected 2010 growth released by the Dept. Labor, the US industry would still be up over 600,000 jobs if all the growth in application and systems programming jobs and desktop publishing jobs went to India. The strong growth jobs in the US by number of categories represented are categories that build out, maintain, service, and manage infrastructure and systems. The people you need on-site to put their hands on the stuff. You can administer a server, or router, or switch, or whatever, remotely (that's what I do all night long), but when it breaks, you still have to hoof it over to the racks and get your fingers dirty.
