Their CVs are often total BS.
Somehow more rude than Chinese people.
Their food stinks.
No problem.
They’ll emigrate to the US and get hired by their fellow piss drinking cow worshippers to be America’s ruling caste.
What could go wrong?
I’ve worked with a lot of Indian engineers and a lot of Chinese engineers. I can’t recall a good engineer from either group. No creativity, no “roll up your sleeves and get it done” attitude.
I’ve known a bunch of solid engineers from Russia. But they are less common than Asian immigrants.
There is room for everybody, if our ruling class was really interested in an efficient education system for all and a meritocratic system.
It’s not only IT. I’ve had to manage transactional accounting teams there. All “degreed” What a joke. A college on every corner. It was interesting for me, especially since I’m of Indian descent but very very removed from the customs and culture
I’m hiring no Indian Engineer named Casey Jones.
Just do not dare get confused and call an Indian a Paki.
Some get agitated about that. Regional pecking order.
I have worked with some excellent engineers form India.. and I’ve worked with a lot that Just flat out stunk.
I had my first business wrecked by Indian “programmers.” By the time we found out their resumes were all lies and their placement firm was a fraudster and they didn’t know shit and covered for each other, the damage was done. Never hired another one and have worked to fight H1Bs and other giveaways for 20+ yrs since.
IT is my understanding that they are somewhat responsible for the horrible engineering that caused all those Boeing’s to dive into the ground. In my day a 3rd grade American had more sense.
Their turkey gobble on the phone is incomprehensible gibberish?
I swore off HP stuff after too many frustrating episodes of turkey gobbling phone “help line”>
Even if American educated most of the Indian engineers I’ve worked with are lazy. They do not understand basics. The team suffers and no one wants to work with or for them
They write crap code and if they didn’t control the recruiting process there’d be very few of them.
Most are inept, but its largely due to poor communication
My Indian sil is an international teacher, hint, she has no degree
From what I’ve seen from good guys hacking scam call centers....I have to agree.
I know so many white guys who used to work in IT but now won't go near it any price. It's a spiraling mess and no one wants to clean it up.
I regularly see failures from IT staff who are completely unaware that the problems they're causing were resolved back in the 1990s. They have no knowledge of established industry standards and why they were put in place to start with.
I’ve never run into a competent engineer from the Subcontinent.
I also forward every single request from an Indian recruiter to the bit-bucket, unread....
Graduates of the Indian Institutes of Technology , IIT’s, (a small minority) are top notch. These are the top tier talent of Silicon Valley. Eg Amit Singhal, who wrote the modern version of Google search before it got corrupted by politics. There are others who have founded unicorn companies ( Bipul Sinha of Rubrik, Jyoti Bansal (AppDynamics) etc..and many others. The bulk of the H1B imports range from mediocre to garbage and plenty are downright fraudsters.
Over the 20 or so years that I have dealt with Indian engineers, programmers and IT contractors, I must have been very lucky. I don’t recall one that was incompetent. Some were better than others, but all were at least useful.
Granted we did go through an outsourcing process where many IT functions were “offshored”, and that did create a loss of service quality, IMHO, but I can’t really blame the people on the Indian side for that. That was our management that tried to turn the work process into a hands off “paint by numbers” system and destroyed personal relationships.
