I graduated with an information systems degree about a decade ago, and no employer has ever given me any amount of money for that degree. I have never gotten a bonus or higher pay because of it. Now, I’m seeing so many videos on TikTok and reels lately of students who graduated with a computer science degree costing them upwards of 90K, And they are all packed any huge room with like 20 employers who are hiring for like 300 jobs but there’s like thousands of them…
So basically if you want a digital piece of paper that says you’re “educated”, you can pay $40000 > $350,000. But you’ll never get any amount of money for it from employers, it won’t help you find a job. It’s a myth
Same, but likely you can demonstrate knowledge and understanding. We have some support from India, and it’s like… really hit or miss. One guy might know a lot (then leaves to better paying job). Otherwise with the low salary the quality is barely acceptable. Difficulty communicating, and often simple computer tasks are still elusive. So if you have and can demonstrate good knowledge and experience of the technologies, you can get a foot in the door.
Never ever stop self-educating in your field.
What is your company looking for in your India resources? I’m convinced a lot of the problem is companies emphasizing low costs when outsourcing. You get what you pay for.
I’ve seen much more consistent results from colleagues in India when the company invests in them as a location with longer term outlook. When you’re not just looking for lowest costs, you can afford better engineers and when you treat them right you can attract better engineers
