Paradoxes of a Non-Resident Pakistani

[jetti]

I am talking about the last few years in companies like IBM and Accenture. We had people who literally would not pass a freshman level class in computer science or economics. Yet they had managed to get a transfer from IBM India and Accenture India to come to Western countries as 'experts'. I had to explain to one such IBM "expert" the difference between function parameters and return values. We had another database "expert" who always needed everything explained to him several times and couldn't get any work done by himself unless he "consulted" his company first. Plenty more examples...

Again, these have nothing to do with conenctions. more to do with right place at right time I agree there are several duds, but thats bound to be in any system. If sending dead wight because of connections is the norm then IBM and Accenture would ahve been out of business. ALso, these are the not the typical migrants / immigrant. Very likely they will return to India at the end of the project . I can say pretty certainly IBM will not apply for their GC unless they are super good and are required to be there long term. these types are just staff augs.
its another thing if they come to US thru IBM and find anoteher job from where they are ale to to stay on.. but that you have to give it to them.

I havent come across too many Pak IT professionals either. in singapore there is one guy who does some VB coding etc for a small company (VB !!).. and one guy who went to universtiy here also working in my firm.
some brit paks are also around who are quite good actually.

punjabis came to canada way before that.. its more than 100 years when the first batch of punjabis came

there is no comparison betweem pakistanis and indians in canada at all. pakistani need us for finding work, homes etc etc

Pakistanis there are even in political positions; there are businessmen, doctors, engineers, lobbyists, etc.

as usual indians (who usually suffer from inferiority complex) are now trying to ''feel good'' by labelling all Pakistanis as backwards or poor (how many destitute and poor do you have in your ACTUAL country --forget foreign ones?)


i dont know how accurate this figure is -- but i heard there are around 300k Pakistanis in Canada.....that's a decent community size, spread out (many in Ontario, Montreal, Vancouver). So it's stupid to generalize. And most certainly, unless you provide me some kind of proof i'll take your comment of ''Pakistani need us for finding work'' as purely emotional garbage.

loosen that turban, it's clouding your thinking

Shouldn't you be glad... as it's your piece.

You dismissed it as an, "only RAW is interested" piece. Why, then, do you call Pakistanis' attention to this thread rather than ignore it?
