The guy mite have sounded a bit arrogant but you are no better. Just like he thinks he is from a top Indian school, u think anyone from MIT or IVY League is the best. You also come as a person who detests tops schools in India. Many graduate students in top US schools are from these univs. So learn to give credit when its due. No need to blast India or China unnecessarily. Most scientific people come from these countries, although Singapore is not the place for such people. Its more suitable for IVY Leage grads who want to work in finance n management and buy cars and condos.

Although Singapore kinda sucks for IT and RnD, if he was really that good, he could always go to a better place like US, Europe, Japan, Korea where people with his experience can easily earn around 100k USD.

The catch with Singapore is that u can get stuck in the wrong area. Clearly , if someone is very good, he shd be getting 100k SGD +. If not , he is not good enough.

Both of you are delusional.
