Re: Someone at Deutsche bank is becoming famous....
Q. 'Why don't you want to open a subsidiary in Singapore?'
A. 'It's impossible to get the staff'.
B. 'They institutionally hate us'
C. One word via Facebook etc, and our entire futures can be ruined via a populist swarm.
So Mr. Foreign-Talent do you still feel good about relocating to Singapore, well do you?

Worse that that, he appears to be a new citizen. So he's doubly screwed.
Social media, truly a double-edged sword.

The ironic thing about this is that all those irrational, bigoted, racist comments have kind of proved the point he was trying to make.

It's like picking between a douchebag and a turd sandwich.

Yes. Regardless his fans and their black and white universe It is a damn arrogant for a neophyte to act like this.

Re: Someone at Deutsche bank is becoming famous....
I can't help feeling sympathetic towards Singaporeans. There is a disproportionate representation of Indians in any IT team in any company.
I'm wondering if there is any hiring bias?
If not, what are the other reasons?

Is the situation any different in other developed countries? Which country gets the highest number of H1B visas?
Also factor in Indians are more likely to be willing to work in Singapore than people from Poland wanting to work in Singapore, for example. But in case of London, it is more neutral. So find out if there plenty of Indians working in IT in London. You then have your answer.

Re: Someone at Deutsche bank is becoming famous....
Nope. That's why I'm asking. The fact that it's happening everywhere doesn't mean there's no hiring bias towards Indians. In fact, it kinda confirms it.
Re: Someone at Deutsche bank is becoming famous....
Yupp, there is. Same way as there is a bias towards outsourcing manufacturing to China.

Back on the original topic, I think the guy has a case of foot in mouth disease, poked a hornets nest and he got stung.

There are so many IT jobs in Singapore though , are there enough local folks capable of doing so?
I appreciate the reputation of some of the Indian IT here is pretty low , a lot of talk no action , but very good at the politics, but who else is going to fill the void?
I am pretty sure not every Taxi Uncle is an IT person out of work.

Indians are well represented in the IT industry (sheer number based) and willing to work for less. What else do you need?Aragorn2000 wrote:Nope. That's why I'm asking. The fact that it's happening everywhere doesn't mean there's no hiring bias towards Indians. In fact, it kinda confirms it.
Re: Someone at Deutsche bank is becoming famous....
I can believe some Indians may tend to hire Indians but TBH, across all the sectors I would rather expect there is an anti-Indian bias. Many local, non-Indian customers almost openly say they would prefer not to be served by Indians. This is for example the situation in health/therapy related sectors.
Re: Someone at Deutsche bank is becoming famous....
Its not a case of lot of talk no action, but I think most Indian IT guys are pretty good at, like how JR8 once put it "reasonably well informed winging it"Barnsley wrote:Aragorn2000 wrote:I can't help feeling sympathetic towards Singaporeans.
