I know a lot of ppl in India who work in outsourced companies. They are pretty smart than many American counterparts I've seen, but they lack confidence and decision making. Thier confidence also gets shattered by doing crappy report generation,formatting,testing kind of work while only some of them are motivated enough to side projects.
- nailer 18y agoI've had jobs in Western countries involving report generation, formatting, testing. These are indeed boring. I've given myself a challenge of automating the living shit out of them: * First time I learnt bash was to work out how to make server documentation with it (I'd built some shell functions to handle headings, tables, columns, etc. * First time I learnt xPath was to fix 60,000 GECOS fields of a customers Linux hosts when the customer refused to give us programmatic access to the corporate directory. You'll be appreciated for the labor you save (if not, leave). Then go off, find some more interesting problem, and work on that. With good managers, they'll pick up you're a 'self starter'.
