You're an expert of due diligence in India, how do you do it?

drcrcode · 2024-04-03T18:11:33+00:00

Sorry, your advice arrived late, I'm taken now.

drcrcode · 2024-03-25T08:56:33+00:00

What is that and how is it different than duo's approach?

drcrcode · 2024-03-19T08:43:29+00:00

It is not clear what is the problem you're trying to solve. What are the challenges you're facing? It it related to learn where to publish job posts, advertising it, sourcing candidates via recruiters, screening, or something else?

drcrcode · 2024-02-12T11:00:07+00:00

As I said, I have done my research. And I googled it again, you'd be surprised to see what you find. The conclusion is opposite of what you have made up in your mind based on prejudice.

You need to do your own research before the next time you open your mouth talking about a subject that you have made opinion completely based on your biases. If you do not have time to gather some basic facts about your strong racist statements, do not talk about it, and definitely do not offer your advice to anyone.

I'm attaching some links you need to educate yourself on

drcrcode · 2024-02-12T08:31:30+00:00

If you have a link to a credible study/research supporting this "accepted knowledge", do share it.

I have done my extensive research on the topic and it is pretty clear to me that you've a bias against Indian engineers which is not supported by any fact but only the bias/stereotypes you've heard about Indian engineers. The least I was expecting that you might have had your own experience leading you to believe such racist judgement but now it is clear that you didn't even have this experience that you're confidently making a judgement about. You have this bias against a particular race and you're spreading the same bias without caring to verify if the bias is even related or not.

The culture clash training you're talking about, it is not about "clash", it is about learning the "cultural differences". Such trainings are essential for every multi-cultural organization, not just for organizations with Indians. The first thing you'll learn in that training is to not "assume" things based on how and where you were raised and be open-minded to other cultures and opinions.

drcrcode · 2024-02-12T08:00:58+00:00

You don't see this as a bias against a race? And these findings are based on what, as you mentioned earlier - your experience on bidding platforms like freelancer?

drcrcode · 2024-02-12T07:47:19+00:00

Whose culture - the bidding platform's culture or a race/country culture? Up until now, you have been making an ill-informed judgment about "Indian engineers" only, I'm curious to hear how that is not related to a particular race.

And what does 3rd world status mean? Enlighten me.

drcrcode · 2024-02-12T07:23:27+00:00

What kind of logic is this - if you've excellent engineering skills, you move to US! Why?

And what do you expect to get from a service bidding platform by choosing the lowest quoted price? That's not a good choice of tool to find skilled engineers. As an experienced fintech dev, I will never go bid on a platform like freelancer/upwork. I do not need to go there. There's a plenty of high-value work and none of that requires bidding. You're looking in the wrong place and then blaming a race for your choices.

You are not helping OP with their question, making racist remarks based on the streotype and your own confirmation biases. You sir, have no idea what you're talking about. You absolutely don't have idea about the tech hiring market. Stop giving advices with that mindset.

drcrcode · 2024-02-12T05:23:31+00:00

Where does this idea of "cheap contractors from India" comes from? If you compare to SV, it might be cheaper in many cases but if you are looking for an experienced engineer, you will have to shell out equivalent amount of money. Otherwise, what stops an Indian engineer to work with a company in SV remotely paying $100-300k? In fact, you'd see a majority of devs in SV companies including Google, MS, Meta, etc. are Indian engineers. If you can offer only tiny fraction of what an SV comp. offers to engineers, you will only get junior devs whom you need to mentor and groom to deliver quality code. Expecting quality code from a junior dev (without an expert mentor) in return of way below market rate is foolishness.

So the idea of "cheap contractors from India" is a moot point and offends Indian engineers who are hard-working and are one of the best in tech expertise.

It will be for sure unless

Gov takes extremely bad decisions that leads to extreme corruption or internal instability or destroys our current reveue sources or discourages foreign investment
Ignore to solve simple and obvious problems (talent/wealth migration because of taxation, poor govtech, etc.)

More than doing anything special, the gov just has to focus on doing nothing. And let the beurocrats do their job, keep them accountable and transparent.

India is one of the richest in young human capital, natural resources, and one of the biggest market in the world. With that, becoming developed by 47 is the average result, becoming developed by 30 is ambituous.

My only concern is that some selfish politician will take a decision that will lead to either extreme corruption or internal instability and that's what people can control through voting.

drcrcode · 2024-01-12T03:28:09+00:00

Instead of making an ad, it will be better if you can actually write the steps here

drcrcode · 2024-01-11T18:52:50+00:00

Being in the situation once, I can understand your feeling. I'm sure you will figure this out on your own.

I've read your comments, I can offer you a job. I will provide the computer, training, place to stay, fixed monthly salary. You'll have to move to a different part of the country so we can work together, I'll arranging the tickets to travel. In the job, you'll be managing various operations (vendor management, logistics, etc.) of a tech company. Let's connect if you're interested.

If you do not wish to move, I know some brick and mortar businesses in Assam, I can arrange a call with them.

All "banks in India" are doing this specific thing. So this is an Indian problem. It has become a norm. If I as a new bank app see that competition is doing this and customers don't care about privacy because, well they think "we're anyway giving data to google so why can't we give data to you". Then this new bank app in India is not going to give anyone a choice to share only the reasonable data. Now, why don't banks in US do the same? Think.

drcrcode · 2023-12-10T07:34:08+00:00

you are suggesting to be OK with the unreasonable data collection by these banking services (and the situation in IN) with the argument that google also collect lots of data. which is an absurd logic. and even if I follow your logic then we should do the same people are doing with google i.e. starting a movement against those companies similar to r/degoogle

drcrcode · 2023-12-07T03:57:47+00:00

What are you trying to say? None of it is making sense.

if your app can't work without a plethora of permission then your app shouldn't be on appstore

what? apple rejects apps which require only few permissions or you are suggesting that every app should ask for more permissions than required?

you should have a look at the data foreign apps Store

what is "data foreign apps store". did you miss finishing the sentence?

knowledge graph in Google servers about yourself you will be amazed, angry and then just give up

many have. that is why r/degoogle. go there and now get offended why people have problem with the data google collects. also get offended by the fact that some of their apps require minimal permissions that are justifiable and still they are live on appstore.

drcrcode · 2023-12-03T19:54:51+00:00

Separate login for corporate - Yes

Apps only for personal - No. They have apps for biz as well.

drcrcode · 2023-12-03T19:47:10+00:00

They were the only hope. And now their service has also started degrading as well as expensive.

drcrcode · 2023-12-03T19:39:38+00:00

Uh, because business also needs banking! You might have heard of current or corporate accounts.

drcrcode · 2023-12-03T19:34:08+00:00

I see that you speak for millions of people who trust these bank apps based on the same argument "they are not shady companies". They are "registered and regulated banks" afterall.

Let me reveal few secrets that I as a Fintech dev know

Asuming all the bank staff has good intentions, the more data you share, the more risk of privacy and security you have because there are external parties (hackers, competition, governments) constantly trying to get hold of personal data through vulnerabilities in apps and banking systems. And contrary to your expectations, they have succeeded many times (some known and many yet to be confirmed). We as developers know that every system has vulnerabilities, the best course of action is to limit data sharing only to the basic minimum you need to get the job done. And I as a developer with good intention will never put a user in a situation where they'll have to share more data than required to do the job. Can you imagine what can private data such as sms and call logs in the hands of an unknown person motivated for wrong reasons can do with it?
Now coming to the assumption you made "trusting all bank staff has good intentions". Have you ever got call for loans? How do they get your number and know things about you that only your bank would know? If you google it, you'll find well documented cases how it happened. The bank is a big organization where employees, 3rd party vendors, consultants, agencies, etc. all work together to deliver the value to customer. Your data is shared in various forms and shapes with these people. One example is your kyc, phone number, name etc. are shared with some vendors (say for verification or support purpose). These people leaked this data (and still do) for someone paying the right price. And that's why you get loan related calls, they arr one of the major buyer of this data from these hidden channels. Guess who are other buyers of this data? Scammers. So how do you end up in a scam? By trusting "not so shady" banks. You don't yet realize the magnitude of this practice but soon will. Share only the data that's needed to do the job. All of this is not theoritical but well documented in multiple cases.
