In a meeting right now where another East Asian is presenting with pretty bad english, pronunciation, and a very heavy accent. I'm having difficulty understanding what he is saying and I can only presume the wheats in this call understand less.

Despite the language barrier, he immigrated and found a protected job. Would you have hired him when information conveyance and clarity is integral to the job? I know my director certainly would not do so.

If he was in a pure engineering job - I wouldn’t care.

If you are in a consulting job - communication is key. Not hiring a person into a consulting company because they can’t communicate correctly seems a legit reason.

My English is not perfect and I have a strong accent. I feel constantly insecure about my English and seeing this post makes it worse 🤪 Feeling really grateful for Deloitte for hiring me as a consultant. Thank you, D!

I wouldn't if communication is a core part of the job and it's pretty high up. For more entry level roles I would give it time to improve.

What is his job?

I mean, you make it sound like he was hired to be a motivational speaker.

Are you bothered by accents from other parts of the world, say, south Asia, east Europe, LATAM? Many of them are pretty high up with heavy accents, e.g. Pfizer CEO. So why east Asia only?

The issue is op can’t understand the person not their accent.

Accent doesn’t matter. But if hard to understand, that’s a hard no.
