All the smart ones left........................
exactly- I’ve made a lucrative career out of fixing software outsourced to cheap labor. At twice the original cost.
They are giving away engineering degrees with 3 cereal box tops there, it seems.
Not that many smart ones in the IS either
They came over here on H1B.
This has shorted India.
My experience wasn’t this severe but on the same lines - I’d say half were incompetent and zero were high-talent (those were ones who had left). The biggest problem was they were “book smart” but had absolutely no practical knowledge or common sense, as we define it. And they preferred to argue academic points and recite what they’d been told at IIT than listen and try to understand what they were missing. I quickly gave up hopes of integrating them into the team and just let them run til they inevitably failed, it was cheaper and far less frustrating.
But hey, they all had masters or PhDs and were much cheaper than US engineers,right?
Yep, they are working in silicone valley.
