I would think that ceiling exists in almost all countries, and US (and especially SV) does pretty well in terms of having non-natives in the higher rings of management. For example, Germany might have 20+ millions people with foreign roots (20%+ of population) and might look very welcoming to them, but you'd be hard pressed to find many in higher management roles.

Uhm, it’s quite easy to find foreigners in top positions at German companies, especially international ones. How many of SAP’s C-suite are even German? Not hard pressed at all.

Interesting - are there any particular studies about this in Germany?

>>denzil+l2
Not sure, I’m going about it anecdotally, since I’m aware of foreigners in power at German companies, so at least it isn’t “hard pressed.”

>>seanmc+r
Foreigners as in British, American, Swiss or Austrian? Or people from bulk of the immigrant population (Turkey, Romania, Poland, Greece..)

The former, but also throw in lots of Indians. Vishal was CTO of SAP before moving over to infosys.
