My brother, 59 years old, has BS & MS in EE/CS (from first tier universities), is the holder of at least 3 serious patents in the world of internet telephony (he almost invented it), compression circuitry, all the usual and up to date coding languages, 38 years of experience and still willing to grind out the night work. And is looking for a job, as he took a few years off due to family issues.
Not a chance. If you don't look like them, they don't hire you.
Told him to change his name to Govinder, and only do phone interviews, and to fake an English accent with a touch of the Punjab.
He won't do it of course.
But there is no "tech worker shortage", unless you mean "tech workers who aren't white". At least in the Santa Clara Valley.
It's out and out discrimination, and Rupert Murdoch can drag his fake Austrailian butt back to the Outback to peddle this crap.
Happy he did Fox News, but...he don't get the U.S.
PS: Santa Clara Valley figures: Asian Tech workers = 51%, White = 41%, then all the others.
The Americans are the minority here.
I’m in SV for the summer.
There is no shortage of engineers here....
There is a shortage of cheap engineers.
A friend of mine, retired now, started working in Silicon Valley back when it was just American engineers. Ten years ago he was telling me exactly what you’re saying, white Americans were being discriminated against in the industry that they created. The imports were only hiring their own. He was lucky being self employed but he witnessed it all over the valley.
