not if those jobs entail good written or even oral communication skills. Native English speakers have a huge leg up on Indians and Eastern Europeans in this regard.
For example, I imagine Coca-Cola is willing to pay more to have the person writing their ad copy be someone who has been immersed in American culture from birth.
- samarthr1 5y agoA good portion of Indian engineers speak good English. Anecdotal evidence only though.

- mprovost 5y agoIronically, if you google "is speak good english grammatically correct" there are a lot of articles debating whether it's ok, or if "speak English well" is better. This is the kind of subtlety that's hard to understand for non-native speakers.
- glandium 5y agoI don't think there's anything grammatically wrong with "speak good English". The difference to me is language register.
