Thank you for the post, it’s indeed music to our ears to hear that we’re getting close to India’s experience. I’m sure it’s a long way to go, but as I can tell from local infrustructure is growing and allow more and more IT companies to be estblished within large IT-parks it’s definately something that is going to happen in closest future.

On the education of the majority of IT-workers in Russia I can say that conceptual producer, directors and general managers are considerably old and sometimes have old-school technical knowledge of the IT, and the actualy developers, designers and project managers are are usually not older than 25-30 probably as Internet boom happened around 1999 year over here, so I can say that future top managers and general managers are still to come, maybe second Google or anything else - it’s a fast-growing market and a lot of smart techy people around, we all have to keep up with them all the time!

Majority of us are graduates or post-graduates of major 2 Universities in Kazan: Kazan Technical State University (Computer Science faculty) and Kazan State University (that too has Computer Science faculty, which is more theoretical probably).

Thank you for the question! Hope any of this info will be of any use to anyone!)

Have a great Holidays, guys!

They actually all are pursuing degrees in computer science at university in Kazan. I’ll have Oleg respond to this post with more. Thanks for the question.
