    Europe really did give India a sweetheart deal lol. They must have been extremely desperate.

  2. It’s really funny seeing the EU completely bend over to India after all the objections it raised over the Mercosur deal, which was extremely favorable to Europe.

    I know from my peers and family that tech pay in Europe especially Germany and France are very underpaid compared to those of us in USA. The equalizer here has been that these western EU countries offer excellent social services. The question now is will folks in Europe face the same hiring patterns we see with H1B in USA where the ultimate goal for the company isn’t to fill a hard to find role but to just save money?

    To be fair there is a huge shortage of skilled labour in the EU, especially in the white collar sectors like IT and Tech. This will fill those labour shortages and increase the GDP. I have an uncle with partial ownership of an IT company in Netherlands who says he can’t find any local talent to fill his positions.

  5. Oh great, on top of that don’t forget to slap tariffs on everything so we can’t buy cheap stuff.

    Theres a joke to be written about the fact that India and the EU started getting along after the UK left

  7. Immigration is under the purview of the individual EU member states. Von der Leyen doesn’t decide it. It’s pretty clear in the language as well. [The office] will be a one-stop hub to support Indian talent moving to Europe, **in full alignment with EU Member States’ needs and policies.**

    This clearly means EU member states still decide whether someone is allowed to enter their country for work or not. You should be more worried about outsourcing because European businesses, like, American ones have started going on a cost saving spree. It might be India today. It will be the Philippines or Vietnam or some African country tomorrow.

    P.S: My whole team at Ericsson was shut down and the positions were moved to China.
