- mlrtime 2y agoFresher is not a good term for this example. There are engineers that are great coders but bad in a incident environment. They may not be fresh, but also need the same help as a "fresher"
- Twirrim 2y agoIt's a very US centric term, in the UK we'd just call them graduates, for example.
- dpcx 2y agoAs a US developer for nearly 25 years, I've never heard this term used in business context. I'd call them a graduate as well.
- lolinder 2y agoNope, not a US term. I've found it in a couple dictionaries as a UK term for "freshman", which is a similar idea but not quite the usage in OP. The equivalent that I've usually heard in the US is "recent graduate", rather than just "graduate". https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/fresher https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/fresh...

- dagw 2y agoIt's a very US centric term You've never heard of "freshers week"? That being said, I've never heard the term used to refer to anything other than university students.

- stcroixx 2y agoRecent (this generation) Indian immigrants to the US use the term in my experience. I've never heard anyone else say it.
- red-iron-pine 2y agonot a US term. SE Asian. "Fresher" + "100 people on the call" immediately makes me think Tata or Cognizant.
