"Yeah indeed..... got MS degree with gpa 3.8 ..... hunted job before and after graduation for almost 6 months....couldn't find.....worked in fast food in 7.50/hr for almost 3 months....."
So u realized it the hard way..having MS degree with a super cool gpa Like urs won't land u a job esp during this recession.
"somebody told me that Indian consultancies gives training and place in project....went there ....did training and got project ......i'm in my 4th year since the first project (excluding training etc).......out of 4 year ...i hardly stayed 6 months in bench that is because proj got over and took time to find another one (i'm happy with that as well.... as i was soo exhausted from proj and really want to take break during that time).....even more luckily during these recession and INS tighten rules and regulation....never happened to go to bench."
Your 4 years of experience came in handy..and i am glad that during this recession u never happened to go to bench....Benching during this recession is altogether different story..
"i started with 27/hr while they were actually charging 80 -90/hr......know i'm getting 75% of my billing rate and currently getting 43/hr.....i'm enjoying with dhoti (more precisely desi) bhai ...... and my EAD is about to come within month or two"
At least i don't have to give my hard earned money to any consultant and i don't make as much money as u do but i don't have to share my sweat and money with anyone..Glad U r getting ur EAD and Hope that u get ur GC very soon..
"In conclusion.....i was fu(king retarded after graduation but not any more......once i'll get my PR....i'll go for permanent job (i can't go right now as client don't want to go for PR sponsorship) and settle down at nice place"
At the back of ur head, u always beleive that u should go for Permanent Job..
"to all, during these time, consultant are getting more opportunity then those who are laid off from company after working for 7-8 years because consultant are exposed to more clients, exposed to lots of different tools and consultant knows how to struggle...so start your carrier as a consultant not as perm employee....."
Not necsessarily, PPL with good skill set 9/10 times land a Job...Since u r also going for Perm Job , i don't see a point in encouraging others to go for a Consultant..
No hard Feelings FreeH1B,
But i fking hate consultants and the way they do their business..
