Good. If India wants to consider themselves a more modern country they need to clean that shit up. They literally prey on the rest of the fucking globe, assholes.
Also, fuck India, that country has some of the worst devs but the hiring rates by countries in the US are insane. Oh and they also feel they have the right to perform assassinations in other countries, they’re buddy buddy with Russia, and no woman is safe there.
Seriously fuck that country. I have lots of friends from India both there and in the states and they echo a lot of these similar things. Damn shame.
Have you considered blaming rich business owners for outsourcing instead of people in third world country who need a job?
I will happily introduce you hundreds of terrible American engineers that stumbled out of a short boot camp and into a 6 figure salary.
Just because your company decided to contract with a shitty company like Wipro or whatever, that doesn’t mean India has bad engineers. It means your company hired a trash firm. That’s it. There are shit firms all over the world.
It's a simple calculation. If you pay well, the quality of the workers are gonna be good. If you pay them shit, even for a 3rd world country standards ofc they are gonna be shit.
The ones who get paid (like software devs in faang), ofc they are good at what they do since they are filtered properly and the pay is good. On the other hand, if you take someone from witch, they aren't filtered properly and hired in mass and they pay is the shittiest and they are the kind of dev you complain about.
I’ve hired some of the best programmers from India on Upwork. Stop over-generalizing.
