A hiring manager’s post on Reddit has sparked a heated debate, alleging that Indian developers are the most likely to cheat in tech interviews.
The post, which has gone viral, claims that the hiring manager has conducted numerous interviews and has observed a trend of cheating among Indian developers.
The hiring manager, who has been involved in hiring over 80 developers globally, states that many Indian developers cheat blatantly in interviews, whereas developers from other countries do not.
The post has sparked a divided response, with some users agreeing with the hiring manager and others arguing that one person’s experience cannot be generalized to an entire population.
Some users have shared their own experiences, with one commenting that it’s amusing to see candidates unaware of how to detect cheating.
Another user suggested that young interviewers with limited experience (less than 8-9 years) often have unrealistic expectations that developers should know everything.
