> It’s just they are outnumbered 1000:1 by some of the worst engineers I’ve encountered. That's because a lot of the Indian consulting firms will take pretty much anyone off the street, put them through a 1-week "boot camp", and throw them at a project with the title of Senior Engineer*. As you said, there are plenty of talented engineers, but they're obscured by the sea of warm bodies whose only function is to put billable hours on an invoice. * I haven't seen this firsthand, but it's what I've been told by Americans who have done management stints out there. It certainly seems consistent with the quality of work from some of the cheap job shops.
