Question

How come there are so many IT People from India in the UK when there Lots of UK IT people out of Jobs?

Answer 1

We people from India and Tibet work harder, cleverer, and don't complain so much. So stop complaining, you. I am tinking you are jealos of we.

Answer 2

Work for less.

If a British person needs a salary of £20,000 to make ends meet (pay mortgage etc) and an Indian person is willing to do it for £13,000 (because they are sharing a rented house with 6 other people) they'll employ the Indian guy.

Same reason why there are young people wanting to train in skilled trades and unable to get funding yet the Government imports skilled tradesmen from the EU.  Cheaper.

Answer 3

Possibly because Indian IT People are better trained and better qualified.

There are fewer and fewer students studying the sciences including IT here in UK - hence we must import brains and guess has lots of brains?  Yes, India.

In anycase, in this world of Globalisation, not only can goods be shipped across the Globe, so too can people.

Any out of work IT folk born here in UK need to cut their losses and requalify for the 21stC - that's what India is doing.

Answer 4

Because IT people from India are not demanding, unlike those from UK. They do not demand so much remuneration. They can work long hours. They are hard-working 'cos they have seen the hard times. I am not saying that Britons don't work hard and I am not blaming anybody here. Only that immigrants from India work harder 'cos they know that their survival in a foreign land depends on their labour. They have to prove to their employers that they are worth their salt. Maybe the Britons take things for granted. If you are an employer, don't you think you too would want to try and save costs here and there ? If you can get something better at a lower cost, why not ?

Answer 5

The Indians probably do it for less. I haven't met any Indian IT people in the UK though

Answer 6

IT is an enormously wide field - just because you have a specific IT qualification, it doesn't qualify you for all the posts - There are thousands of unfilled IT posts in the UK.

fish4jobs has returned over 500 results for IT jobs http://www.fish4.co.uk/iad/jobs/result

and  here is just one company that is always recruiting...

Answer 7

Is there?? because everytime I contact an IT Call Centre they're all based in India??

Answer 8

get banned every time i comment on things like this so NO COMMENT !!!

and i have no idea why such a ridiculous policy is pursued - totally illogical !!

Answer 9

I would think companies try to hire the most-qualified people, and, yes, people who will work for less money.  Maybe the IT people out of work aren't as good as the people, Indian or not, who have the jobs.

Answer 10

I would imagine for the same reason that there are many unemployed IT people here in the States -and they just granted more visas for immigrants overseas to come here, work cheap & take our jobs..
