In reply to the discussion: Vivek Ramaswamy Dragged After Wild Rant on How American Workers Suck [View all]Skittles
(162,440 posts)69. hey, I worked in IT for over four decades (operations)
I worked with lots of both US based and virtual foreign folk.....here's what I noticed about software engineers - in a group of American IT folk, they'd mostly be very good, a couple mediocre, maybe one would suck.......with the overseas folk it was the opposite - you'd look for that one person who was really on the ball.....I'm not saying they weren't as smart as Americans but we in OPS were constantly saying, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
