You might still be laughing at Indians’ English accents
But now
They have "dominated" Silicon Valley, where high-tech companies are dotted
Not only are there coders everywhere
Also rich in executives
Why on earth can Indians be so awesome?
Lei Ge learned from many people in the industry who dealt with them
Got these answers——
01
no retreat
For us Chinese, going to Silicon Valley is just a choice
There are often situations where “it’s a big deal and I can’t go back”
It can be said that you can advance and retreat freely
Indians are different
They are taking a road of no return
In India, most of them can only do basic work
The only option is to stay at all costs
It feels quite like
"
children from the mountains were admitted to the provincial capital
" in the early years.
And upper caste groups
He also has no hope for India
Almost all of them are determined not to return to China for development.
02
too united
Indians are famous for their unity outside the country.
They like to gather and live together
Often holds gatherings of hundreds of people
Various relationships intertwine to form a super cohesive community
They will share various information and resources
For example, as soon as there is a job announcement, our compatriots will be informed immediately.
As soon as there are any internal changes, we will immediately notify our people.
It can be said that "
the water in the spring river is warm, and Asan is the prophet
"
The Chinese are accustomed to being divided into various factions (such as southern faction, northern faction, new immigrant faction, old immigrant faction)
Originally a minority group, it is equivalent to undergoing
multiple mitoses.
and have little contact with each other
03
never shy away from suspicion
"If you brought in an Indian administrator, he might bring the whole village."
It is different from ordinary people who want to avoid suspicion and are afraid of being said to be nepotistic.
Indians will promote their compatriots very simply, directly and roughly
They have never worried about the fact that "capable compatriots will replace them"
Not just “top to bottom” but “bottom to top”
There are more and more Indian employees in the company, so their demand is that Indian senior management
04
resolve infighting
Wherever there are people, there will be contradictions
No matter how united the population is, there may be internal strife.
But the infighting among Indians
will end with the "remnants" of their culture——
caste system
Simple and crude:
Whoever has the surname of senior is the most popular
05
religious tolerance
India itself is a "bulk country"
Diverse ethnic groups and even more diverse beliefs
The various gods alone cost tens of millions.
so
Indians have long been accustomed to growing up in different cultures
"Cultural IQ" is extremely high and adaptability is extremely strong
The diverse environment of Silicon Valley is a natural fit.
06
Exposed confidence
East Asian people under the influence of Confucian culture
Accustomed to implicit and passive communication
They firmly believe in "shooting the first bird"
I just hope that I can keep a low profile and show off my development.
In order to achieve their goals, Indians
Can express one's opinions directly, even very forcefully and "aggressively"
And this happens to be an advantage in the American workplace!
07
Language advantage
Although speaking with an Indian accent
It reminds me of their "Curry Flavored English"
But English is more than just the accent
There are also grammar, vocabulary, tone, etc.
And what Americans don’t care about the most is their accent.
So, you can see a lot of Indians
Confidently speak "Curry-flavored English" and chat and laugh with others
Moreover, Indian executives who have actually received elite education
The accent has already become "authentic"
08
High emotional intelligence
Indians in Silicon Valley have never acted like "I am alone in the chaos when the whole world is in trouble"
They like to have a good relationship with others
The most important thing about getting along with others is: knowing! boast! people!
Don’t underestimate complimenting others. It takes skills to praise sincerely.
If you don't praise well, you'll just be flattering and all kinds of embarrassing moments.
Indians with high emotional intelligence never hesitate to praise others
And it will make you feel truly like a spring breeze
