Dude, there are no good consultancies, period. All they want is to exploit you. These-days, I am hearing that they even charge for training contingent upon the refund when u get your project. If you can find some that dont charge u up front or require a contract or bond, I say go for it. But u need to be prepared for patience. I have seen people who are looking for jobs 6-8 months and some who just get one with 3-4 months too. It's basically your luck and timing. I am working as QA right now and I will tell u this, "It is not that hard to work as QA". It is doable even if u are not that technically aligned with COmputer Science. Try sulekha.com and see if u find some company that will take u in. Do not pay for trainings!!! I know that the situation is not that great but try on your own field first even though it pays dirt cheap.
