This is definitely not the case for China.
- abhinai 8y agoWhich part?
- KaoruAoiShiho 8y agoAll 3. Biggest problem in Chinese software is ageism against the old, much less seniority.
- sdrothrock 8y agoAgeism and too much deference to seniority can coexist; for example, a 23-year-old giving in to a 28-year-old who's obviously wrong.
- sdrothrock 8y agoI'm too late to edit, but this is also incredibly common with just a difference of a single year in many Asian countries. You'll see it in the Japanese senpai/kouhai relationship, which affects not only classmates, but people who join a company in different years.
- nonamechicken 8y agoAgeism is a huge thing in India too when it comes to hiring, especially in the IT consultancies. Since they want to ahow cheap rates to their customers, they hire a lot of 0-6 year experienced folks. It becomes harder once you cross 10 years.
- abhinai 8y agoYou may be right. My experience came from a rather famous and elite team that worked for me in China. It may not be a representative experience anymore.
- throwaywaslkdjf 8y ago"Most software engineers work for outsourcing companies." This just isn't true in China. Just go to New Delhi and Beijing and you will find there is a vast different in IT culture in both countries.
- kamaal 8y agoNew Delhi, doesn't have a very great tech scene. Blame pollution. You can die out of meditation in New Delhi. Beat that. The only company that ever sort of existed in New Delhi, was Snapdeal, and they pretty much shut shop as of now.
- worldexplorer 8y agoThey are many product(established and high paying) companies in NCR region especially Gurugram(cyber hub).
- wxyyxc1992 8y agoMaybe true in China
- throwaywaslkdjf 8y ago"Maybe true in China" is not an argument. I find comments like these not helpful and disturbing. The amount of blind dislike for other countries without a proper argument makes me read less and less of hacker news.
- icebraining 8y ago"Other countries"? The person you're responding to is Chinese.
- throwayaslkdjfl 8y agoSo he can't be American because he is Chinese? Think for a sec what you are actually saying. You are confusing ethnicity with country. Those two don't equate.
- icebraining 8y agoThe profile says they work for Alibaba in NanJing. I'm pretty sure that's not in America.
