> They've also begun heavily pivoting hiring for dev roles to India now as well. I have cousins who attended no name universities in India getting SWE roles in Amazon - something that was unimaginable 5 years ago - and expanding Dev offices to lower CoL cities like Hyderabad while slowly pivoting away from Bangalore. Amazon always had a policy to not judge candidate based on their universities. It's not new. > expanding Dev offices to lower CoL cities like Hyderabad while slowly pivoting away from Bangalore. Please don't call hyd low CoL if you don't know about it. > Also, the Indian branches are fairly remote work friendly 3 days from office like all the other office. > Now you have people earning $20-40k/yr living in their ancestral towns and villages where median incomes might be $3-5k Covid time is long gone.
