This maybe true of Infosys or Wipro etc. This is not the case in FAANG companies. They get the same salaries in FAANG and are no different from regular employees. Don't let HN skew your world view. It's cool to be anti FAANG where as people posting these are living somewhere remote, salty about immigrants.

This is egregious as well - "They won't know anything about algorithms either, but they'll cost less and can be worked like slaves."

It's hard to have a logical rebuttal to something like this. It's engaging in the worst stereotypes.
