I am an Indian and I consider my self a very competent programmer<p>1) having won lots of programming contests nationally and internationally<p>2) being from a good college in India where you need 99 percentile for entry ( trust me 99 percentile in India is a LOT , Over 2,000,000 students give exams every year )<p>3) been first hire of a startup and hired&#x2F;managed team of over 40 and having actually delivered products in market with users .<p>Recently I started applying for some remote jobs and I think there are issues .<p>Being from India , there is a lot of &quot;India&quot; mentioned on my resume . I got 1 response from about 10 companies I applied and shortlisted once I started looking for a change . 1 Response !! ....
I thought something is wrong ... I applied with near to same credentials , same projects I worked on ... just posing as a US citizen , I got fucking 100% response ??? Whats going on ?
Why companies pose as a global and open companies when they are not ?
