Be prepared for the first two quarters of next year. It’s coming. Everything is moving to CIEC, and I strongly believe they’ll eventually take over everything. It’s only a matter of time.

@ca buddy if devs in india made 100k usd a year do you think they would bother to h1b here. sure maybe the highest of the high end devloper. but those are unicorn cases. the most of them are not making even half that.
@ca they don’t make as low as everyone says they do
@a5 Damn, comcast pays below market there too? i hear good devs in india make 10 mil inr/105k usd equivalent
@ac not just that you have to handhold everything they do. its like getting a high school grad. then theres the language barrier , hard to understand anything they say in meetings.
The majority of the roles will still be US-based. Not taking a side one way or another about off shoring roles but there is no chance that the majority of the company's roles are moved to India. That is highly highly unlikely given how they need to set up the business to align with certain regulatory and legal practices.
@ac this is a fact through and through. Gotta spoon feed them everything and not to mention they are on a totally different time zone and missing everything that comes up during a work day here
@ab long term, not a penny.
@bq i was shocked to see it all over twitter/ X and Facebook. Comments talk about GCC’s and large US companies doing this to their employees, some are now being investigated for like abuses and it looks like whistleblowers mention big security issues. There are no regulations on offshoring work, so it needs to start there.
Someone posted this on another thread:
“The India offices are taking the bulk of the work. Unless legislation is introduced to safeguard American telecommunications data, nothing will stop this.
●●●
For hypocrisy, India, it's ILLEGAL to export the telecommunications data due to national security. America allows it.”
Yes -you read that correctly.
@a6 yah there will be no sales if that takes place. Customers work off relationships and trust. Those two things seal a deal more times than not. If they are trying to make money in this business and push everyone out for this, it will all come to a halt.
Details of the layoffs and shift to CIEC posted on our community FB page (400 homes). They will do what they want with the information. Maybe Comcast can get some customers in India!
@aa CIEC = Comcast India Engineering Center. It’s the company’s office in India.
I believe CIEC is the outsourced version of our jobs...in India.
Anyone who works with CIEC knows it take 10x longer to accomplish anything and you finish with only uncertainty. They're not up to speed on the business as it is. It's like dealing with bad customer service
@a5 sure, but when you pay someone a third as much but only get a quarter of the results, and those being sub-par, are you saving money?
What does CIEC stand for
Our VP is in love with the CIEC's AI slop dashboard. It's horrible one of our devs made a better dash in a week and CIEC has been working on it for months and has tons of security issues.
Nobody buys anything from a sales rep who sounds like the scammers who’ve been relentlessly scam-dialing them for 15+ years.
@OP The middle salary for a CIEC senior software engineer is $30k USD. No wonder these sc-mbag companies outsource code development to Indian sweat shops.
@OP they are clueless.
No it won't happen. Not after the Chinese take your territory....lol
