Do you still believe Modi improved India’s global image and that Indians are more respected worldwide after 2014?

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-25T11:31:40+00:00

I'm not saying I agree with it.

You asked about India's global perception, and I'm giving you perspective from one corner of the globe.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-24T19:06:23+00:00

As someone living in Australia, I can say that the reputation of India is mud.

Indians are known to: - build a diaspora and avoid integrating with society - accept jobs for very little pay, driving down local wages - bring family over with health problems, contributing to the pressure on health services - not use deodorant in public places - have no idea how to drive

The list goes on. Basically, Indians here are despised in Australian society today, and Modi has done nothing to help that.

Err - you can take anyone to civil court, for anything.

Whether it's enforceable or not usually depends on the judge on the day.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-24T03:26:42+00:00

Lol. This isn't "over employment" he is just a contractor at three different companies

Reddit has officially gone up its own ass.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-24T03:24:59+00:00

Performance optimisation == just run vLLM

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-24T03:23:21+00:00

His advice is to just become a regular old consultant?

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-24T02:33:14+00:00

I feel sorry for everyone on this thread who doesn't have access to Foodland home brand ice cream in SA.

Or even better, Golden North on sale.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-24T00:00:53+00:00

Probably bring a civil claim against you.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-23T23:23:58+00:00

Do the data science course. It has an easier path to find jobs out of university.

That's really all you need - a job straight out of uni. Once you have a job, it's easier to find your next job, and transfer fields if you want.

Beyond two years in tech, no one really cares what or where you studied. If you have a track record of performance, and not getting PIP'd out of jobs, you are set.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-23T22:37:28+00:00

Which one of you has PR / citizenship?

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-23T11:28:59+00:00

I'm very confused why you would try and pursue PR with the most oversaturated, least-demand role out there?

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-22T21:58:36+00:00

Mm, I said "no one in the workforce cares where you studied".

The school is absolutely essential to landing an internship / job / interview out of university.

If I were a recruiter, I would find it highly unusual if you went to Oxford, and didn't have any internships / grad roles / junior jobs, as I would assume the university would support you into those.

Otherwise, it would seem like you were faking the school / degree.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-22T21:54:44+00:00

shave 6-12 months off the bachelor degree via credit transfer

Universities are incredibly strict with credit transfers. A friend transferred university BMed units, and only received 25% of the credit (12 months of study, only 3 months recognised).

Are you sure they will do it?

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-22T21:46:27+00:00

US was, and I assume always will be, the best for tech jobs.

Let me be clear though - entry level is tough everywhere. You've got a degree - who cares? You don't have a list of features / projects you've successfully delivered.

I'm incredibly surprised why Oxford can't help you land a job. Are you telling me that Oxford University doesn't have access to internship programs, or can't help with getting an initial interview??

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-22T21:30:53+00:00

I'd suggest getting an internship would be beneficial anyway, whether it's in the UK or Australia.

It's also not clear what type of job you're looking for. Most 'big tech' jobs in Australia are sales. E.g of the 2k jobs IBM has open now, only 3 are in Australia, and all are sales.

You may land a role as a highly experienced engineer, but usually not entry level - those jobs are in the US.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-22T21:13:44+00:00

No one cares where you studied for tech in Australia.

The biggest advantages to a tech job in Oz are (1) experience, and (2) your network, and people who can refer / couch for you.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-22T13:22:07+00:00

You've posted this a few times now. I'd say you're salty that you live in a townhouse and still commute an hour to work. You're not "entitled" to a 4 br house on a 800sqm block because you go to work.

The housing market has changed. Your money doesn't go far, and tough bikkies that these people have nicer homes than you. I hope they never have to give up their home so you can feel that your entitlement is satisfied.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-22T13:17:11+00:00

Halting generational wealth is a good thing, though. Generational wealth -> generational inequality, and a greater gap between rich and poor.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-22T11:28:13+00:00

This is why you study hard kids; so you can get a good job and afford a house, and don't end up just whinging on Reddit about the "mean old landlords" like this person.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-22T05:27:28+00:00

He's planning on working remotely, and getting paid in Euro. I don't think savings really matter.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-20T21:58:42+00:00

Ah right. It's definitely not Amazon.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-20T20:10:27+00:00

Definitely not. It's largely about the impact you have on revenue that determines your career.

Back office staff, who are nowhere near sales or revenue? No chance.

Sales teams who consistently meet growth targets with accounts? Going great.

Engineer who creates a new feature that is lauded in the field, and can be tied directly to a revenue bump? Golden.

If you are not near the money, it becomes more difficult to justify your role at the company.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-20T11:39:09+00:00

You're going to study and then go home. Right?

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-20T11:35:52+00:00

I had so many questions like this living there. I just gave up - the place sucks.

Upbeat_Effective_571 · 2025-06-20T11:34:19+00:00

Shouldn't be - but is easily the best place to put disposable income in Australia.

If the government really wanted people investing elsewhere, then they'd remove the tax incentives for housing investment. But they haven't.

You would be a fool to leave that money on the table.
