I think that there may be some truth to that narrative. I suspect that Chinese/Indian/Other-Race workers that are skilled at an in demand profession simply shop their work where they are paid commensurate with their skill (Probably not cheap.)
- sho 10y agoI think there's a lot of truth to that. I've had nothing but bad experiences walking into companies that outsource software to India for cost reasons, and yet I know a number of exceptionally talented Indian software engineers. The difference, of course, is that the talented guys know their worth, and will demand at least above-average compensation. The outsource shops hire down to a price and get pretty much who you'd expect with that practise. The issue has nothing to do with ethnicity per se, and everything to do with management dreams of hordes of top-notch foreign talent just dying to do high quality work for pennies on the dollar, which in my experience simply doesn't exist.
- jinfiesto 10y ago100% agree. I've had generally negative experiences with work that's been outsourced to Indian shops, but nothing but positive experiences with Indian engineers I've worked with outside that context.
