'Move out of India' for respectful life: Engineer's angry rant against working with IITians

Hindustan Times

An engineer on Reddit advised graduates from Tier 2 and 3 colleges to move out of India if they want to "live a respectful life", alleging that in India IIT graduates will look down on them at workplaces. "Dear tier 2/3 guys, if you want to live a respectful life, you have to move out of India," he titled the post. He said that, as per his experience, a Tier 2 college graduate “will never be respected.” "Every single IITian will look down on you either subconsciously or overtly. "Sounds more like a specific issue with your old company's culture rather than a generalised issue," said one of the users, while another added: "Maybe its a generational difference?
