I work with plenty of people from India. They’re pretty good at their jobs. They should be paid the same as us in the USA.

I don’t mind that they work on the other side of the world. I don’t mind them at all. I mind that the main reason why they’re hired is that they can pay them peanuts. They deserve better.

I’ve had really good and really bad experiences with contractor companies from India. It’s truly hit or miss and more often than not you don’t get the same quality of code or commitment (contractor or not)

That said, I agree with pay. They work for cheap and it really hurts the industry here at home while helping the c-suite pocket more of the profits.

I’ve met and worked with Indians who either were born in the US or migrated more than 5 years prior.

As it turns out they are just like the rest of us. There is definitely some racial stereotypes at play.

  You had to work with Indians to realize they’re just like us? 💀

    We are biased even if we don’t realize it.
    
    Its not that I had some sort of hate or something like that. I just found working with them to be eye opening to me.
