If you are a button pusher in high cost area like USA you will be replaced by teams in low cost area
"For a CEO making from $30 to $60 million a year compensation whose job depends saving money to the company/share holders , the math is simple; it’s not about India, it’s about money"
- the CEO is not definitely not worth that much
- it is about the transfer of money, from the FED to the 'shareholder',
how do you think we arrived at 37 trillion in debt and nation in steep decline
- it is about immediate profit vs the long term health of the company, aka strip mining
- if india was innovative or ambitious they would have created their own companies and told the 'shareholders' to bleep off which i would have commended them for

In general, The cost of an employee in California is way too expensive due to inflation etc.. for not outsourcing it to lower cost area like India Mexico, south east Asia , eastern ln Europe etc , especially when one employee costs (including overhead, ss benefits, medical ins etc) can be replaced by up to 3 to 5 peons somewhere else; unless the job requires patents, innovation that cannot be done somewhere else.

You get 3 indian monkeys for a price of one real engineer in the US. The monkeys hack their way through, pat each other on the shoulder for BS work. Take all the holidays and weekends off and totally fu-k up and the team in US has to clean that sh-t up. It's always like that. Qualcomm has turned into an Indian company. Like Jaguar which went down to sh-t
"I've seen so many talented people leave Q over the years, to be replaced by bozos. Seemingly the management like this arrangement. Unfathomable."
Simple really.
The bozos are probably cheap so the manager will look like they are saving money.
The bozos are not very skilled and are subservient so they won't take the manager's job.
This last one props up incompetent managers that should have been let go.
We are so far from a merit based society I don't even know where to begin.
Apple. They just announced to hire more people in the US.
The talent there is largely poor, and their attitude is mendacious (allowing of course for some excpetions). They're strategically not team players.
Any short term Value the lower salaries generate is clearly offset by the terrible work environment it creates.

Hardware has been a commodity for a long time now. Just check the electronics you buy, everything made in China! It makes sense for companies to move jobs overseas if they can be done for cheap. Now even software is becoming a commodity, Google, Amazon, Microsoft... are all moving SWE jobs to India(just go to the career section and type India, you will be surprised by the number of open positions). The final blow to software is AI. The world is changing fast, if you don't adapt you will be left behind. If you want to stay in the game, you need to learn special skills that give you an edge over the competition. Good luck!
