If I could either work for 30k at home or do a 140k job abroad for 80k I would willingly get ripped off and exploited. It doesn’t make it less bullshit that we don’t offer such talented folks citizenship and a fair wage.
i wonder if its also true for biotech, i see a large number of listings asking for the same visas. i know indians also go into medical, and biotech too. but thier main source would be tech.
2/30 for an ethnic group that comprises 1% of the US population seemed a bit odd. Noticing a minor peculiarity and believing it to be negative are entirely different. What offered you the impression that I would view their ethnicity in a negative light?
HB-1 visas. Work for Musk, and they may get to stay.
Also India is a big country. There’s a lot of competition. During 2022 when we were hiring by the butt load, I interviewed a bunch of devs who were fired from other tech companies. Most of the applicants were indians and many even outright told me that they used to work 70-100 hours in their last job and wouldn’t have a problem doing that if they were hired.
Not trying to be racist, but why are such a disproportionate number of the names Indian?
The IT sector is disproportionately Indian, and Musk is a strong supporter of outsourcing H1B visa employees.
H1B visa employees is a fancy way of saying slaves since they can be deported if they quit and don’t get a new job.
That is extremely condescending toward H1B holders. And I’m not a proponent of the program.
Id challenge you to say that statement to an HB colleague and see how they take it.

Imagine calling 9-1-1 and getting sent to an Indian call center to handle your call. This is a boring dystopia.
What the fuck does this have to do with the topic at hand?
Is it too much to ask that government jobs not be outsourced overseas? Sorry for my wrong-think.

Can confirm a lot of biotech is Indian. At least where I live.
I think you have a negative bias.
There are literally two names if you really squint that could be Indian. And how do you know they’re Indian. Maybe they’re American?

Welcome to big tech 🙂
Akash and Nikhil are the only Indian names
