Who the hell cares about brand name?
I would not call random local brands a brand name anyway.
Random local brands? Lol. Oh right, America = global. Old McDonald had a farm..
Why does IIT/NIT matter in layoffs? These Indian news letters are unnecessarily using these to bump their viewership. I am yet to hear “MIT/Stanford grads laid off from xyz” in the news. College brands don’t matter during layoffs.
They are a huge deal in India if you didnt know already. With the number of grads to jobs available in the market every year, this is how the hierarchy is, unfortunately.
I'm sure papa420 knows what's iit, he just isn't happy he didn't go there
Why should IIT or whatever be protected while others aren't?
Indians and their status indicators 😖😣😔
Most prestigious layoff 😀
So what .. just because you are from IIT NIT BITS companies don't owe you a salary. G t f o of here and create value.
Hey, they busted their butts in high school for 2-3 years. The least they can expect is lifelong respect that they are better than every other Indian who didn’t go to these schools. /s
What? How is it better than other students? Stop obsession with college credentials. This is soooooo silly. All they did was got screwed for few years and went to Kota to get coaching. Whatever the case, it doesn't mean the world owes them a paycheck. Academic smarts is not life smarts.
why do Indians care about school so much? I’m an American and I just don’t really get it. Nobody cares if you went to Harvard or Michigan state if you have the same job. What you studied and what you did or work seems a lot more important than where you went to school 10 years ago.
Unfortunately, that is how the society is, at-least in South India (where I cane from) . Its all about brand, where you study matters, it has been the yard stick for IT/other companies to hire people, society to judge merit of a student and even sometimes academic evaluations. On other side of coin there is some merit to this hysteria as the entrance exams (similar to SAT) ensure at-least people to get in to these elite institutions. But all aside its more of society thing to pump these Institutions and STEM degrees more.
You see how all Indian s in vp plus management in Google went to iit. That's why they care about brand
No one gives a sht about IIT or whatever school you came from We are all expendable
Most are chemical and mechanical engineer from iit suddenly becoming swe
Yea seen that a lot.
All tech news in India start with the word “IIT”.
Lol according to these news outlets IIT and NIT folks should get laid off last cuz they’re so smart
That is sad. Hopefully they will find another job soon
