Normal people are starting to wake up. 1.2k posts on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/19ajyuq/with_all_of_the_talk_about_dei_i_want_to_address/ Post: “I can’t be the only one who has started to notice this trend. First generation Indian gets a management role, and they hire 30 of their kinsmen as fast as they can. We have a new manager that is fighting tooth and nail to hire people on visas, when there are perfectly qualified people here locally who I’m sure need the opportunity in this job climate. Maybe this was acceptable during talent shortages but the industry is hemorrhaging jobs and this trend needs to be addressed yesterday. I think it’s time to start the dialogue.”
Just my 2 cents ... If you come from Bombay or Delhi... This type of nepotism was an eye opener... If they practice this in India, wouldn't they follow the same outside India...
Americans are fools if they think that immigrants will suddenly do a cultural and value system 180 the moment they land in the US.
Please tell me who are these managers and where do they work, I will apply and get the job. Now my experience, with Indian hiring manager , almost all the time I was rejected. But with others at least was pushed to next round. So, please don’t generalize
I have a strong suspicion that this also affects panel interview outcomes. No actual evidence, but I’ve had PM several loops (Amazon most notably) where the recruiter shared that I got 3 strong positives (from HM, engineer, and bar raiser) and 2 strong negatives (from a principal PM who would have been my colleague and an engineering manager). The three strong yes’ were from white people, the two strong no’s were from Indian men and the feedback was diametrically opposite to what the positives were. Again- maybe I just had 2 bad interviews and this is entirely coincidental… but this has happened at other interview loops as well (non Indians like me across the board and Indians give me strong no’s) and I’m predisposed to believe that it has something to do with my being pretty obviously Latino.
It’s patently obvious to anyone who is somewhat observant.
🤣 no Indian is joining those fields. Mom-dad would disown them. HR field does have a lot of Indian women.
Because 60% of America is white, and the difficulty of entry to those jobs is much lower. And the % of the population that was white 20 years ago was significantly higher than the 60% now; there’s a lag. In contrast, ~1.5% of the US population is of Indian heritage (that includes American-born Indians).
This is just a small minority of managers who do that. Especially the ones with a consultancy backgroud. My experience: 1) never felt this way with Indian managers 2) Been on probably close to 1000 interview panels (with many Indian managers and engineers) and I can assure you, no partiality was shown. FYI, my experience is based on interview panels across a couple of Faang companies and robinhood
It's easy to disprove the entire hypothesis by just looking at the demographics of qualified applicants. Women are half of the population yet the number of non-indian women in tech rounds to zero.
I see it in my company and it it called bias.
Can confirm @ Amazon. I remember seeing org charts layers deep where 90% were all Indian…. yet all the teams were based in the US
Nobody’s leaving their home country to work in marketing and sales lmao
What are you even saying here dude? You copy and pasted the same comment 6 times across different peoples replies to the OP. You’re not even making a valid argument you’re just saying “white people work lower paying lower skill non tech roles in a predominantly white country”
As an Indian, I've only had negative experiences with Indian interviewers. On the contrary, all my interviews with white interviewers went well.
Same for me
The Japanese do the same thing
So do Koreans.
Let me tell you, it is not because of kinship. They know they can push people on visas to unreasonable level of work. They know all the vulnerabilities.
Correct.
