oh bbboy, this article is just tip of the ice berg. you have NO idea how many pink-slips and security escort outs I have had to call in on indians who can't even write a simple hello world code. like, they are LITERALLY, rattafication machines who would thoroughly impress you during a verbal interview but when you put them in front of a machine and give them their first task, they look at you with a blank "dear caught in head lights" stare in their eyes! We made up our mind and started giving them white board solving problems to write out...and true to the article, 95% bomb out right there.
it has become a common occurrence in my company where even though we block out at minimum 3 hours for an interview, when it begins the very first interviewer comes out after 5 minutes and tells me to cancel the rest as this guy is worthless.
don't count your eggs before they hatch...almost all of that 100 billion comes from outsourcing to big western companies like microsoft, google, sap and oracle. and over the last few years, there has been a huge spike in local american (and european) computer science graduates which is reducing the need for indian so called "engineers" and "developers". I'm a senior manager in a big corporation just like the ones I just mentioned and truth be told, I have seen more american graduates getting hired than indians which is a 180 degree opposite of what it was merely 5 years ago. those 5% too may end up unemployed.
but don't feel too bad, they can always sell that south indian "fried banana" delicacy.
