Ex-Google employee from India discloses new salary in Canada: 'It's barely enough to survive.'
A viral video features Indian professional Piyush Monga discussing how Canadian employers overlook Indian work experience.
In a viral video, an Indian professional in Canada asserts that Canadian employers often overlook work experience from India. Piyush Monga, an Indian-origin digital creator and the founder of the popular Instagram page "Salary Scale," interviews a young professional who has been employed as a Process Inventory Associate in Canada for the past year. Previously, he worked at Google India for over three years but is dissatisfied with his current annual salary of $17,500, stating that it's barely enough to survive.
In the video, the Indian expat reveals that he has been minimizing his Indian work experience on his resume because recruiters in Canada don't seem to value it. "Since I arrived, I've had to downplay my experience because it doesn't count here. It just doesn't make sense," he explains.
The job-seeking professional adds that Canadian recruiters primarily focus on local candidates rather than Indian ones.
Meanwhile, public sentiment in Canada towards India has declined over the past year, especially following the killing of pro-Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar and allegations of foreign interference. A recent Angus Reid Institute survey indicates an 11-point drop in favorable views of India since March 2023, with only 33 percent of Canadians expressing a positive opinion, down from 54 percent. In 2019, 56 percent viewed India favorably.
Similarly, another country accused of foreign interference, China, faces significant public backlash, with 79 percent of Canadians holding negative views.
