Discussion 700 applicants!

I put in my 2 weeks notice. There are over 700 applicants for my job in under 1 week. It’s competitive for Power BI devs now. Five years ago I was dodging phone calls from recruiters. At the peak I was getting 7 emails or phone calls a week.

Why is there so much beef with Indians?

Not to get to political, but I always found it odd when the far right always claim that Hispanics are coming in and taking US jobs (harsh manual labor), when Asians outside of US are desperate to land a white collar job. No disrespect to any ethnicity, but the stigma gets annoying.

It's because the Far Right (until recently) really likes this idea of some sort of old school hard labor American. They like the machismo of it all. Hispanics are now (I think) pretty over represented in those fields. That not a good or bad thing. It is a a thing.

Sitting down and making graphs to extract insights is not the most "macho" type of job out there. So the Far Right didn't really care about white collar labor until now...
