"If the Middle East wanted, they could fill every company with them, but how many are truly qualified?"
I have to say that I have been entertained. Is the browned out crowd of western oil workers visible in Las Laffan by their hundreds building labour accomodations and crowding Garvy's qualified?? I guess HND is a premium and its only a diploma.
Yes the Qatari Oil Companies want to fill all their openings with Indians if they find them. The current rate of recruitments of Indians to Westerners in Qatari Oil Companies (not Western Companies) is about 4:1, but they are still unable to find people willing to come from India. Before you start your "cheaply available" stuff, salaries are similar with a minor difference of western inducement of QR 2000.
Most companies are now opening Engineering offices in India and offering similar salaries to the middle east so its difficult to find quality people.
IT-enabled is a euphemism for call centres and most employees of such centres in India are college going arts and commerce students, but you can't expect a NYT reporter to understand the difference since he/she may be "Western" qualified.
