You have to be aggressive in your career
Pros: If you're aggressive, and take an active, vocal interest in your career, you can go far.  Luck has some to do with it.  But the certification and educational opportunities are there, if you go and take them.
Cons: The off shore resources they are replacing North American resources with do not have the skills and expertise, and in some cases, the hacking mentality, to pick up the slack they are supposed to.  Delivery is a very aggressive, very fluid and dynamic environment, and the global resources just do not know how to keep pace.
