Not the OP, but I don't think that's irrelevant... it's an interesting data point! Even in the US, the few Java companies or teams I've seen also tended to be Indian-dominant.

Part of the reason I quit my last job was that when my previous manager quit, they replaced him with an Indian manager who insisted that we write all the frontend tests in Java and Spring Boot too (even though our frontend used React and JS exclusively). We spent weeks debugging issues with Java VMs, CI/CD runners, containers, build chains, and other inter-op issues... all for a few simple DOM tests that I could've written in an afternoon, in the same repo. /cry

The person they hired to write those tests with me was also Indian, and she only knew Java too. She was brilliant and extremely hard-working, and the choice of stack wasn't her fault. Just kinda sucks that she was put into that situation.

Overall, it didn't really change my perception of Indian coworkers, but it certainly made me hate Java. I didn't really like Java before that job (too much bloat), but after... oh boy... it is probably at the top of my "never again" list now, alongside Drupal.
