Global and language trends for engineers

As the world gets smaller and tech becomes ubiquitous, I predict that there will be a surging need for software engineers who can speak multiple languages and work with international partners. Particularly in places like Latin America or Southeast Asia. It would also make sense that these engineers have to be above average communicators and company representatives. Do you think you would make the cut?

Let me guess, you won’t make the cut.

In some places of Latin America, most of the people code in English, and most tech companies offer classes to avoid having issues. It is way more likely this will be the norm

You seemed to have missed this part: “It would also make sense that these engineers have to be above average communicators” A lot of Indians would fail at that.

Indians are great communicators!

This has already sort of begun. I observed new openings at FANG. One of those was literally titled - ‘Indian English Language Engineer’.
