I would think that ceiling exists in almost all countries, and US (and especially SV) does pretty well in terms of having non-natives in the higher rings of management. For example, Germany might have 20+ millions people with foreign roots (20%+ of population) and might look very welcoming to them, but you'd be hard pressed to find many in higher management roles.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoUhm, it’s quite easy to find foreigners in top positions at German companies, especially international ones. How many of SAP’s C-suite are even German? Not hard pressed at all.
- denzil_correa 9y agoInteresting - are there any particular studies about this in Germany?
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoNot sure, I’m going about it anecdotally, since I’m aware of foreigners in power at German companies, so at least it isn’t “hard pressed.”
- cangencer 9y agoForeigners as in British, American, Swiss or Austrian? Or people from bulk of the immigrant population (Turkey, Romania, Poland, Greece..)
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoThe former, but also throw in lots of Indians. Vishal was CTO of SAP before moving over to infosys.
