I am Indian too and I wish to learn how to exploit Indian nepotism and grow my career. Suppose, if I meet another Indian executive, can I ask “Can we hangout on the weekend?”. How do I become like them and rise up the ladder? Should I visit temples, festivals, Indian restaurants or homes of Indian tech executives? What will happen?
I have worked in FAANG a few years and have plenty of “friends”* so I can speak on this. There’s blatant nepotism among the various groups (Asian women, Pakistani, South Indian, Chinese, Russian, Jewish, Europoor) in tech. At Amazon Seattle office, there was a Chinese team, Bengali team, Tamil team, Malyali team, Telugu team, Russian team .
They have created a nepotist monopoly among every large and small team they become a part of, and PIP everyone else. They will only train, promote, and hire those belonging to their group and see those not a part of it as strangers that cannot be trusted*. These groups of people are very tight knit populations and see other people in it as brothers and sisters. If they were to choose a candidate to hire and they chose a person not in their group over someone who is, they will be shamed by their family and community. Some attractive women also gave everything to the top to reach VP levels
Clarification: I dont think only South Indian H1bs are doing favoritism. Even Chinese, Russians, Jewish, Europoors, Pakistanis, Arabs do it in their respective teams and fields.
