These jobs are being offshored to India. You can tell by how they're massively hiring there.

Worked with Indians. Extremely aggressive, yet capable enough and organized. Not surprised. With ChatGPT making hiring in the US far more expensive yet inadequate enough to make hiring Indians a necessity. Just know your security both online and offline if you have to work with them in your ranks. They won't stop with just eating your lunch.

There is little substance to this comment other than stereotypes about India. I don't like this kind of generalization -- there are over a billion Indians, let's not lump them all together in a caricature

I haven't seen the aggressiveness, but I have seen Indian CTOs move into functioning companies without having any provable accomplishments or ideas. So I assume their real role is to replace the native hires with overseas contractors.
