https://www.geekwire.com/2020/microsoft-surpasses-150000-employees-1st-time-hiring-surges-outside-seattle-area-hq/ "Microsoft surpassed the 150,000-person mark primarily through hiring outside of HQ. In the most recent quarter, Microsoft hired just shy of 2,700 people. New hires were split roughly 50-50 between domestic and international offices. But only 397 of those recent additions, about 14 percent of the growth, are based in Washington state." I've heard Hyderabad has really good engineers and they're always attracting more top Indian talent. Looking at some of the L60-62 India offers discussed here, seems like they're paid roughly a third of the equivalent Seattle area employee. Is this the beginning of the end for software engineering hubs in the U.S? All faang companies are heavily investing in India and other non-U.S. locations.... #india #microsoft #faang
Companies have teams in India for things they want to get done cheaply and with fast pace. Since there are way too many engineers in India, engineers have to work like rats round the clock and bootlick their manager. Companies love this round the clock productivity. All the premium teams and products are always going to remain in the US. It's high time engineers in India show some self respect and stop being corporate slaves. It's also important that Indian engineers coming to the US don't bring this culture to the US.
Get this man a beer 🍺..
Doubt it. Tons of companies tried outsourcing all software engineering and IT work to India back in the early 2000's, and found it a complete disaster. Between language, cultural, and time zone differences, it just doesn't work for major projects. In general, it's pretty much a general rules that "the best" people will always do whatever they can to move to areas where they are the most compensated, hence the concentrations of talent in the bay area, Seattle, New York, etc. The best and brightest from India tend to come to the U.S. for the same reason.
Yes. Finally India will take all of jobs from Americans.
No. Would've been done a while ago if it was effective.
It already happened
Most no. The low skill work always moves to wherever the labor is cheapest.
People saying no just wanna benumb Americans and they can take jobs from Americans, just like China. Watch out, American brothers and sisters.
F*ck me in the eye, I used to work on projects after indian teams. It's like Alice in Wonderland filmed by Brazzers under magic mushrooms.
Why not both?
Currently both. But maybe it is the end of huge head count growth in US hq
