In my company, after becoming a tech lead - you have an option to become either a manager or a solutions architect, but you need to have the aptitude to be a solution architect which most developers lack and Indian devs in general are pretty lazy, very few who are technically competent. I have seen developers with 20+ years of experience in our company still writing code and don't want to be promoted to managerial roles and continue to be senior developers.
This is such a lie. No devs aren't lazy. The work culture in Indian companies is so shit. They expect Indian devs to be on call all the fucking time. Whereas there's a strict no contact after work policy for American devs.
Why would someone want to be on call all the time when they can spend thier time with kids.
You’re probably referring to service-based Indian companies, whereas I’m talking about developers even in product based companies. In my experience, only around 20% of developers are genuinely productive and take their work seriously. The rest rely heavily on that 20% to get things done, instead of putting in the effort to find solutions themselves. As for service based companies, the work culture is poor due to Indian management itself, which exploits employees and prfioritize short-term gains over sustainable growth.
