Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanders.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/TaxHavens-%20BIll.pdf\">introduced a bill\u003c/a> that would eliminate companies’ ability to defer taxes on income deemed permanently reinvested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levin’s subcommittee is examining Silicon Valley companies that\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>have become efficient at avoiding taxes in part by transferring money among foreign subsidiaries in countries designated by the U.S. as tax havens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kimberly Clausing, an economics professor at Reed College in Portland, Ore., estimates that the federal government is losing more than $90 billion in tax revenue annually from U.S. businesses that transfer earnings overseas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That amounts to nearly half the corporate tax paid by all U.S. companies in 2011.

If these companies were taxed on that money today, they would owe the U.S. Treasury $25.9 billion, according to their own estimates. The other companies avoided disclosure by citing an exception that estimating their tax burden was impractical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a disgrace,” said Kleinbard, the USC professor. “It’s entirely optional whether companies provide U.S. tax estimates on offshore earnings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the companies analyzed by the Center for Investigative Reporting\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>support a lobbying effort in Washington for a one-time tax holiday that would allow them to transfer foreign earnings to the United States at rates as low as 5 percent. An industry group, which calls itself the WIN America Campaign, has spent $760,000 on lobbying since it was formed in 2011, federal records show. Its backers include the \u003ca href=\"http://www.svtdg.org/index.html\">Silicon Valley Tax Directors Group\u003c/a>, made up of representatives from dozens of tech companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar amnesty was offered in 2004. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.nber.org/papers/w15023.pdf\">2009 study\u003c/a> by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that 92 percent of the $300 billion that companies transferred to the U.S. under that amnesty ended up with shareholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kleinbard said it’s a common misconception that assets held by foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies remain outside the country. In reality, much of the money is invested here in the form of U.S. Treasury bonds and government-backed securities. The difference, he said, is that the investments go untaxed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The money is not sitting in a strongbox buried in the sand,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A study of Apple, Google and about two dozen other companies by Levin’s Senate subcommittee in 2011 found that 46 percent of the money the firms held “overseas” actually was invested in U.S. Treasury bonds and other government-backed assets, such as mutual funds and stocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The data shows that, in many cases, the funds that corporations identify as being offshore are really onshore,” the report said. “The presence of those funds in the United States undermines the argument that undistributed accumulated foreign earnings are ‘trapped’ abroad, because nearly half of those funds are already located right here in the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was edited by Richard C.

Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanders.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/TaxHavens-%20BIll.pdf\">introduced a bill\u003c/a> that would eliminate companies’ ability to defer taxes on income deemed permanently reinvested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levin’s subcommittee is examining Silicon Valley companies that\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>have become efficient at avoiding taxes in part by transferring money among foreign subsidiaries in countries designated by the U.S. as tax havens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kimberly Clausing, an economics professor at Reed College in Portland, Ore., estimates that the federal government is losing more than $90 billion in tax revenue annually from U.S. businesses that transfer earnings overseas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That amounts to nearly half the corporate tax paid by all U.S. companies in 2011. It would be enough to fund public schools and higher education in California for more than two years or cover 206 days of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>according to state and federal budget data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many multinational corporations based in the United States, Clausing said, the top corporate income tax rate of 35 percent is a myth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think our system’s stated intention and its actual practice have diverged to a point where it’s bordering on ridiculous,” she said. “If you look at the firms in question, they aren’t paying anywhere near that rate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 50 largest Bay Area tech companies, 17 estimated the U.S. taxes they owed on overseas earnings. If these companies were taxed on that money today, they would owe the U.S. Treasury $25.9 billion, according to their own estimates. The other companies avoided disclosure by citing an exception that estimating their tax burden was impractical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a disgrace,” said Kleinbard, the USC professor. “It’s entirely optional whether companies provide U.S. tax estimates on offshore earnings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the companies analyzed by the Center for Investigative Reporting\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>support a lobbying effort in Washington for a one-time tax holiday that would allow them to transfer foreign earnings to the United States at rates as low as 5 percent. An industry group, which calls itself the WIN America Campaign, has spent $760,000 on lobbying since it was formed in 2011, federal records show. Its backers include the \u003ca href=\"http://www.svtdg.org/index.html\">Silicon Valley Tax Directors Group\u003c/a>, made up of representatives from dozens of tech companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar amnesty was offered in 2004. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.nber.org/papers/w15023.pdf\">2009 study\u003c/a> by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that 92 percent of the $300 billion that companies transferred to the U.S. under that amnesty ended up with shareholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kleinbard said it’s a common misconception that assets held by foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies remain outside the country. In reality, much of the money is invested here in the form of U.S. Treasury bonds and government-backed securities. The difference, he said, is that the investments go untaxed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The money is not sitting in a strongbox buried in the sand,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A study of Apple, Google and about two dozen other companies by Levin’s Senate subcommittee in 2011 found that 46 percent of the money the firms held “overseas” actually was invested in U.S. Treasury bonds and other government-backed assets, such as mutual funds and stocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The data shows that, in many cases, the funds that corporations identify as being offshore are really onshore,” the report said. “The presence of those funds in the United States undermines the argument that undistributed accumulated foreign earnings are ‘trapped’ abroad, because nearly half of those funds are already located right here in the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was edited by Richard C. Paddock and copy edited by Nikki Frick and Christine Lee.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You still need to have the problem-solving skills of a programmer, but you don't have to memorize massive tomes of language rules or churn out lines of immaculate C++. According to recruiter Lisa Hall, what companies are putting a priority on when they look for developers are motivation, drive, creative thinking, team orientation and learning ability. These qualities, says Hall, are now prized more than pure programming power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hall works at VonChurch, an agency that specializes in hiring for the digital entertainment industry. She’s currently working with two recent grads from a program similar to Dev Bootcamp based in New York. Neither had any previous experience in programming, but now that they've graduated, tech companies have come calling with offers of a job interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hall says companies still need great hardcore programmers with the kind of deep background developed at four-year college computer science programs. But to meet current demand, there just aren't enough of those to go around. So the tech industry is hungry for progammers with even basic qualifications. The rewards can be great. In the Bay Area, the starting salary for an entry-level web development position is roughly $85,000 a year, says both Bishay and Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dev Bootcamp says 16 of the 17 job-seekers who graduated with its first cohort last spring found employment. Twitter and OUYA, a maker of video game consoles, confirmed to me they have hired Dev Bootcamp graduates.

But the attributes that will gain you a spot couldn’t be more different. First off, traditional factors factors like grades, prerequisites, and tests matter very little. Applicants only have to plug in some basic information and upload a video of themselves. To make the final cut, Bishay conducts an interview over Skype. He says he is looking basically for “nice people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone in the industry is so sanguine about the ability of novices to ramp up so quickly and attain parity with those who have taken a more traditional route.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There have always been bootcamps in the tech skills business,\" says Scott Melland, CEO of Dice, a tech employment site where job-seekers post profiles and recruiters can search for particular skills. \"The most successful ones have been training programs where they are taking existing tech professionals and updating their skills, or helping those people learn new technology or new programming languages ... The ones that profess to take someone from no familiarity to great skill-sets in a short time, I think you have to look very closely at them before jumping to go and use them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would say that the most successful software developers we see are ones that actually have a broad background, either get a college degree or an engineering degree, and then specialize into various technologies.
