What's the "certain country"? Because I thought of one immediately but then I thought of others too. :skip:
India for sure 100%. I know it was them the second I looked at the worldwide CodeForces/Leetcode rankings and saw how low they score as a country, yet they're passing all the interviews.


They're basically the face of nepotism in the industry. If you visit that post and do a CTRL/CMD + F for India you'll see people's experiences.

shyt, I wouldn't be surprised if they cheated their way in, got to the point where they're conducting interviews, see other Indian candidates cheating and pretended they're not seeing it.

Lowkey, I'm tempted to make a resume with an Indian name and see how many hits I get.

I will just say that as someone who works with and has interviewed many for cybersecurity positions, I've experienced quite a bit of "coaching" for interviews. Hell, two candidates had the same exact job duty/function word for word on their CVs. I'm not even mad at them. Companies want to keep cutting corners/costs, this is what they get.

That was the first one that came to mind for me too, just because cheating culture there is so wild.

This is a real picture of a test examination center in India during an exam. Those guys on the outside are literally scaling the walls of the building to pass stolen test answers to the students on the inside.

Think of all the layers that have to happen to get to that point. How do they get the answers in the first place? Why is it so easy for so many people to get the fake answers? How much did they bribe the cops outside to allow them to climb the walls without repercussions? What about the people paid to proctor the tests inside? And why does government do absolutely nothing when every person in the society knew it was going on?



This was another one. The "topper" of the Political Science exams in Bihar (meaning she got the #1 score in the entire state) didn't even know the name of the subject or what it was about. She called it "Prodigal Science" and said it studied how to make food. :laff:





The only reason I paused before saying India.....wouldn't the Chinese applicants be doing this too? And the Thais, the Bangladeshis, and everyone else?

I'm guessing you don't work in the industry or haven't been there that long otherwise you would already know the answer.
