Most of this chat is neets yeah?

Few gems are not

But yeah

pretty much

what if they are a cute chinese american mix

btw ur not neet if you go to school

Not in Education, Employment, or Training

I doubt much of /g/ is neet

most of /g/ has skills in one of the world's most demanded business

you hear every high tech company complain "we lack high skilled professionals"

You know they actually mean, 'the immigration system needs to let us import more indian code monkeys'

that's not correct. if you import the third world code monkeys, you have to pay them local salaries. no sane company wants to import them, and big international companies with a good reputation in tech, invest a lot of money in hiring good people. you want the code monkeys to stay where they are and do the cheap work remote

Dunno how it works in other countries but in the US they don't need to be paid local salaries.

the US has a minimum wage. Indians in India tend to earn below the US minimum wage

I work for a US company with almost 300k employees and I never saw an Indian in any IT related position

Oh, minimum wage thought you meant local salaries for the equivalent job

But we have an office in India, they have Indians and they do a lot of work where automatization would take too much effort

minimum wage was an extreme example

They earns bit more but way less than natives.

I suppose different companies do things differently but the cities around Silicon valley is pretty much little Delhi

maybe they actually are high skilled?

I mean just think business

Some are but most are just code fodder, people complain all the time about poorly written code from H1B visa holders here.

Indian-Americans make more than any ethnicity in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income

those statistics are often problematic

take me as an example, I'm a foreigner in Switzerland and I make roughly 120k / year. now the average income of Switzerland is about 60k / year. Living with 60k in Switzerland is comfy enough to have a good home, food and occasional travel. So I'd rather only work 2.5 days / week and make just 60k, but then my residence permit doesn't get extended because I'm a foreigner

and you will find a lot of statistics about how foreigners in Switzerland make more than locals because of such effects

and I believe that many countries require you to be full time employed to have a permit to stay

Is cost of living really high in switzerland or just some cities?

@porco are you actually a foreigner in Switzerland?

@Deleted User I actually am

Where do you hold citizenship

@sludge everything related to human interaction on demand (services) is very expensive, the rest (products) is "OK"

@Deleted User Italy and Germany

Was it hard to get a visa and work permit?

no, just get a working contract and apply for it

I see

How is it there

peaceful kek

the whole country is a bit boring but super calm
