Are we a slave to western countries?

There was time when western countries colonized and looted our wealth and lived a lavish lifestyle in developed economy with infrastructure made with our wealth and today they are looting our time. While we work extra hours ( 10-12 hours) 5-6 days a week at the same time westerners sign off as soon as thier working hours completes. They relax and have family timw while we carry thier workload.

No, we're not slaves. You can leave the software field, and can stop working for western companies and clients.

Then you can go and work in other fields for local Indian companies, institutions, and banks, etc., who also happen to make their employees work for 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, around the year. ๐Ÿ˜‚

So either way - it's a Hobson's choice ๐Ÿ˜œ

I mean, our country, govt and economy is not at all helping, no social security, no local or govt jobs so it's obvious to work for western countries cuz of whom we come out of poverty line. If I'm given a chance I'll throw my passport and relocate the first chance I get.

I have seen reverse of this. I joined under a US based manager and I kinda hadnโ€™t interacted with a lot of US citizens earlier so I also had this preconceived notion that americans would relax a lot, log off ealry, but boi was I surprised to learn that my manager works pretty hard and long hours and has to support/ attend meetings across time zoneโ€™s etc. Also one time my manager built an initial mvp of a tool which he showed to an Indian based team and they ended up showing it to LT revranding it as they did it๐Ÿ˜‚. From my position feels like Indians work not as enough as they show in terms of visibility, sometimes to get US transfers and then to get EB1A / GC sponsorship.

Damn. I think some people are so driven they let go off of everything else in life. Such people exist everywhere.

Have you watched Elon Musk podcast with Nikhil Kamath. He says working will be absolute in future. It will be like hobby. Think about it.

Because They pay enough and want their work to be seamlessly delivered by the service based companies. That's what outsourcing means. Try to work parallel and build on solutions and wrk for own products.
