Then they're saying specifically Chinese and Indian managers hire people who are less skilled than the best candidates available to them. It's a fishy claim tha

  When you see a mediocre team of all H1Bs from the same country of origin as their manager, it seems pretty fishy to me. Really, not one other candidate from a slightly different asian country hit your bar? I've seen on occasion at FAANG.

    > mediocre team of all H1Bs More mediocre than other people in the company? Presumably the manager is themselves an immigrant, possibly also on a visa. OP's saying they deliberately saddle themselves with people who are worse on every dimension, and thereby make their own job harder. And only managers from 2 countries do this. That should be suspicious to anyone possessed with logic. > Really, not one other candidate from a slightly different <group> hit your bar? See now that's a very different question. Are you, like OP, also arguing for diversity considerations in hiring? > from the same country of origin But not any random country. Literally the 2 largest countries in the world, which produce massive quantities of software engineers. Preferentially hiring from your "in-group" is never morally or legally right. But why is there automatically a presumption of lower competence when that "in-group" is such an enormous hiring pool?
