If your people from 'third world' are your main competition then you fucked up your life by not making something out of your 'first world' privilege and educational opportunities.

Even disregarding those weird "third world" and "caste" tangents, there are tons of Westerners too who would literally do anything for a software job at a tech company, especially at a prestigious and well-paying FAANG. And, by anything, I mean suffer through any brutal study regimen, inhumane corporate process and any humiliation. Undergrad and advanced degrees, months of leetcode practice, take-home tests and coding challenges, hundreds of phone screens, a dozen rounds of interviews for a single company, staying half-ghosted on a waitlist for months, sending ping after groveling ping to recruiters for updates. There's nothing that's beneath them, and this willingness to endure pain simply raises the level of pain everyone else has to endure.
