Depends

I would e def set something up first, yes! lol

I've heard most software engineers in america are indian now

lmao

There's a saying: "every company is a software company"

Everybody these days needs some kind of IT support.

IT support pays well usually but you have to deal with shitty people

I wouldn't say "most" but "a large plurality" would be accurate.

choose your poison

I hate it here dude. I'm not suprised they're leaving

Maybe. But India never gets better if everyone leaves.

I know an industry that pays well, no college needed... It slips my mind at the moment... 😉

EW

EWEWEWEWEW

India is playing catch-up. It'll get better.

Not really

@HVAC oh shit yeah i know about that

HVAC is amazing. Everyone forgets it exists. Until the A/C breaks and they have to pay a couple hundred an hour to the repairman.

Here, meritocracy is effectively fucked

@Deleted User how?

@HVAC i heard women have a leg up in that industry 😜

I'll give my example

For getting into college, atleast in STEM, you gotta write public exams

In engineering, it's AIEEE or JEE

I guarantee a woman HVAC tech 150k after 5 years. Simple supply and demand. there are 0, we need 1,000

Now if you're a minority, like a lower caste person, your cut off marks are less than the general category

This is common in all exams

Is that like affermative action, or the opposite?

My marks were 340 out of 360

And my rank was 234

the guy above me was 280/360

!rank

It's honestly infuriating

@HVAC Worse

yep. Know the feeling.

Legally enforced Bigotry of low expectations

and discrimination against higher castes for equity

We've got stuff like that too.

Like Asians (Chinese, Korean) students needing a higher score than the other minorities to get in College?

And it's not just exams. There's quotas in every government post, even parliament seats
