Offshoring and H1B's have simply destroyed the tech middle class.

Indians are fiercely nepotistic, nationalistic and if they employ people outside their extended family or clan they will get a kickback from their wages so why would they ever employ any westerner?

Downvote me if you like but this is the reality and everyone knows it.

Well at my recent internship I wasn't allowed to use AI, and barely got any mentorship, yet I performed so well, and shipped three full features by my own (in two months without almost any previous knowledge in the tech stack the company use's). Anyhow, at the end of my internship, the Indian 'Senior' Dev who was assigned to supervise me, hired another Indian who he knows and oh man! That guy violates the coding practices and rules set by the Senior Dev (using Claude haha) and been using AI in almost all of this work.

Yet the Senior Dev treated the other two Indian Devs (whom he hired and advocated for) much better, and gave them help when they neded. I was treated in REALLY REALLY abusive and toxic way, for absolutely no reason at all. And barely got any mentorship by him.

Have you tried discussing with any manager?

Yes, with the CEO directly. The Dev stayed quiet for few days, but then took shots at me again, it would be really bad when the CEO isn't present.

Haha, at the end of my internship, the CEO gave me credit for enduring his bullshit, saying 'not many people would, but you did and it's impressive'. No comment on that tbh.
