Are American Engineers in Short Supply?
Besides the visa issues for cheap labor, I was told that Indian engineers in India can be hired into US by Indian Consulting companies who have a lot of connections with hiring managers who happen to be Indians. These consulting companies take a lot of Indian Engineers coming to USA who have fake master, PHD degrees and don't have US education. Another reason why a lot of Indian engineers in US companies is because most of the hiring managers are Indians; they won't hire other people citing "you are not qualified" after the interview. I have a friend working for Qualcomm before; verfication engineers at Qualcomm can't verify the chip, then he came on board, he can verify those things that the whole team in San Diego can't because they don't have that niche experience. But months before that one Indian engineer interviewed him, said that he was not qualified, don't have the skill they looking for. The chip is still not working until now; they still place ads looking for engineers for more than a year now for the same team.— August 6, 2013 9:34 a.m.
