Indians have a very bad rep. That being said the best developer I know is Indian.
I once worked on a a mostly Indian team and could not understand anything they were saying during the meetings.
What is your accent like? Can non-indians understand you easily?
- mightymosquito 7y agoWell I like to think so. I have never faced this problem in an interview/discussion. Neither has any potential employer has ever had problems understanding what I am saying nor have has anyone told me it was an issue while giving feedback(I have started requesting for detailed feedback for my application rejections. Most people don't reply , some that do didn't really say anything about my communication skills being bad).
- Zenbit_UX 7y agoThis. It's unfortunate but true that Indian devs and especially Dev teams have a bad reputation amongst western companies. Nothing you can do about this to be honest, just be aware that it's an uphill battle for you to prove you are a good communicator and a skilled Dev beyond what would normally be accepted. On the other hand, and I know this isn't relevant to your case, but for some reason Romanian Dev teams have an excellent reputation from most people I've spoken too.
