I graduated recently and was rather fortunate to secure employment at a MNC. As part of the networking protocol initiated by current management, fresh hires were encouraged to mingle with one another - and so I did.
One particular encounter bothered me significantly: I came face to face with an individual of a different nationality who graduated from a dubious sounding university abroad; dude is apparently receiving the same wages as moi. Fyi my company requires a candidate to possess at least a minimum second upper class honours to qualify for consideration, yet the fact this foreigner "hailing" from a globally unranked private tertiary institution simply waltzed through the door STUNG big time.
Lest you start accusing me of being xenophobic, let me state for the record I am not. I just find it absolutely unacceptable that fresh graduates with credible academic qualifications from local private universities are swept aside in favour of individuals who weren't even born and bred here.
