@pratel I studied in military school. I'll be fine man

I had to miss a conference call with India for my daughter's school play and was told that I was expected to work around their schedule because they weren't authorized for overtime.

Awww

I'm not sure if you're saying Amazon is bad. That culture is how they dominate. So is it bad? Then quit.

tbh it's what you want in life

if you want money and nice things expect to sacrifice time for it

Yeah....you gotta be sure you can get another job though @HVAC

It's not easy to just quit

If you can get a job in Amazon, you can get a job elsewhere.

if you want freedom and a life get a normal job that respects it's employees

If you're in software anyway.

Meh

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
