Thread regarding USAA layoffs

When is GCC opening in India?

With ongoing workforce reductions and increasingly restrictive H1B policies, a natural question arises: is the new ECIO considering establishing a Global Capability Center (GCC)?

From a purely economic standpoint, the math is compelling —sometimes hiring three skilled professionals for the cost of one H1B employee in the U.S., or five professionals when compared to a US citizen.

In today’s environment, expanding through a GCC isn’t just a trend—it’s a logical evolution. After all, the numbers will speak for themselves.

What restrictive H1B policies? Seriously. It’s only gotten more relaxed.

@er

Sure. And that’s going to hold with a new CIO who just started with USAA?

@OP As AI gets better at taking over job, there will be no need for corporations to hire in India or anywhere if AI is doing the job. All that's really needed is Data Centers, electricity, and water. Humans not needed.

@er Not correct. The Bangalore cheerleader now works for Delta.

LOL This is ridiculous, USAA is not a big company that warrants a GCC. Current Technology population is already small and that already includes the contractors.

I can’t reveal too much yet but USAA Technology is looking at few office buildings in Bangalore.

I support USAA having its own GCC like BoFA and WellsFargo. USAA can hire local talent here instead of hiring offshore locally.

@OP You must be an outsider, we already have this in place. Roughly 60% is already 3P in nearshore and offshore.

Amala attempted this when she was here but failed. Besides, the company received a citation from a regulatory consent order because of an offshore 3P.
