It’s presumably (from context) a company campus in the US that they’re taking about. I wouldn’t expect 3 of 8 legally authorized to work in the US people to be Chinese or Indian combined.

Other than a few international visitors, I’d expect the makeup to look like the domestic tech worker demographics rather than like the global population demographics.

Also, anyone who has worked in these companies also know it’s much larger than 3 out of 8… comical to act like it’s only 3/8.

I estimate AWS engineering is maybe 80% Indian and another 10% Chinese. Less at higher levels though.

It always blows my mind that 75% of H1B admittance is Indian. Then you live in SFBA for 10 years and it's not really a surprise anymore.

Certain suburbs of Seattle (Redmond, bothell) are pretty much entirely Indian

I think most software companies hire from computer science graduates from US colleges. It’s likely that international students makes up a large percentage of these graduates.
