- ajju 18y agoAs against Pakistanis or Trinidadians who aren't? What's your proof?
- zhyder 18y agoI'm venturing into dreaded downvote territory here... Consider it anecdotal evidence, but I've known several Indians who've done that, and I've seen it while reviewing resumes for interviewees as well. I'm not sure about Pakistanis (they're culturally similar to Indians tho) or Trinidadians (never worked with or interviewed one, and if I did I wouldn't have an adequate sample size). It doesn't matter; as a developer you're much more likely to interact with Indians than Trinidadians. FWIW, I'm an Indian myself. And know many other Indians that don't pad their resumes, and are very talented/hard-working people. But if you had a job posting in the US and measured x = %age of Indian applicants that have fluff on resumes, and y = %age of non-Indian applicants that have fluff on resumes, you'd find x > y.
