Also Indian IT companies are overstaffed with followers and understaffed with leaders. Even ICs in a good product company like Google or Apple are entirely capable of self-managing 90% of their work -- you only need to tell them something like "implement smooth scrolling on the iPad mini that matches the iPad Pro." They will come back and evaluate the problem and approaches and say that the current system calls don't support an exact match but that reducing to 30fps can get a match or the OS team can do additional work to expose a lower-level graphics primitive to make an exact match. You'll never get that from your typical Infosys grunt. The vast majority of the Indian engineers with that skill level are either employed in the US on H-1Bs or in India at the FAANG India offices.
- vermilingua 7y agoNothing you said there suggests that this is an India specific problem. Paraphrasing: > good developers capable of self managing work at Google or Apple > the only Indian developers at that level work at FAANG It's almost like good engineers are attracted to the companies that can afford them, regardless of their nationality.
- paggle 7y agoNo, there are a lot of good Serbian developers for example but they all work in outsourcing since the FAANGs don't have offices there. So there are a lot of very talented Serbian devs who do contract work. But in India there is a robust export and domestic market for engineers and a HUGE services market so the services firms are mostly populated by crap talent. It is an India specific problem.
