That is not true and the reason is obvious - bamboo ceiling in American companies. Think about it - Chinese grads have far higher chance to be promoted to a senior position in companies like BAT and all of them pay you well.
- ajmurmann 9y agoIs the bamboo ceiling string enough and well known enough that it would drive a majority of Chinese graduates from US schools out of the country even if they received a green card? I don't find this assumption oblivious at all. It's easy to underestimate discrimination if you aren't the ones being discriminated. Do you happen to have any data on the actual discrimination and more importantly for this discussion the perceived one?
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoThe head of Microsoft today is Indian, Qi Lu was, until recently, head of apps, Harry Shrum runs tech. Does the bamboo ceiling really exist in tech? Now, definitely for laowai working in China, there is a bamboo ceiling, almost all the senior leaders are going to be Chinese or Taiwanese :)
- dosgonlogs 9y agoYup! Which is why brain drain to China will slow down imo. Unless they get a steady flow people wanting to get a dead end career there.
