> 99% of CS is about communication, not your ability to code

There is a minimum level of useful skill that is required to avoid having to spend a bunch of time training them.

Neither the Indian CS person or the new grad are great options. Ideally you want senior devs. But given the choice, I would prefer the Indian CS person as then the communications become more Product's problem than technical mentoring which is mine.
