Except their moms like posters above can’t tell the difference and think it’s a great idea that they do back office wire processing at Freddie. Hey, it’s IT, right?

You are absolutely full of it.

sounds like you can’t tell data science from data engineering.

NP. To be fair, neither can anyone hiring us.

Np. Can someone explain what this means? If my company were to use this vendor, would we need to make a switch? Should we want to?

Congizant is a super shitty company that abuses its workers, everyone knows this.

It will demoralize your existing IT workers. Prepare for racism and sexism.

What do you expect would happen when literally all of the big tech companies put Indians as CEOs? Indians, and particularly the highest castes, believe they are much, much better than everyone else and only want to work with people from the same region of India. Plus, they are all likely selling their info back to India. For me, H1B's are a huge security risk - you are obviously going to be more loyal to your country of origin than to the US.

We agree. I met a Chinese h1b visa worker with an accounting degree while on vacation in LA. There is absolutely no reason to hire an accountant as an h1b worker, we have plenty of accountants here. That whole program stinks and is an outlet for foreign frauds

Fund accounting has a higher percentage of Chinese nationals because we can’t get Americans to apply at all, always have to beg for recruiter budget then compete with other firms and end up with a fellow Chinese 🐶

Start recruiting at American colleges.

We get ghosted all the time. They rather join the military than work in accounting (real story). In the end of the day i also have a full time job, I can’t forego my own responsibilities to recruit more aggressively at colleges while the business teams have no problem filling their ranks with their 2x salary.

I know a math teacher who couldn't get hired in accounting after her baby was born. She said the industry is pretty cutthroat - maybe because Chinese and Indians would rather hire Chinese and Indians?

Most Chinese workers stay at non manager level anyway. We don’t have Indians in this niche of accounting because we require our employees to do a lot of real work 🦄 your friend need to start from the ground up by working for firms like SEI or Wilmington Trust. It’s not a mommy track job for sure.
