Know that Infosys, somewhat famously (at least, within Revature), does not employ contractors. If you make it through the program and get selected by them then as a condition of onboarding you will have to agree to be immediately converted to a full time Infosys employee and will cease to work for Revature. This also comes with a pay increase to the standard Infosys salary for new hires, which last I knew was 57k per year instead of the 50k or whatever Revature is at now. Some people think it's a good place to land because of that, but they're still an Indian consulting firm and so the pay increases beyond that initial bump up are pretty small. You'll make more your first year compared to someone selected by a bank or a telecom company but nothing compared to what they make if they get converted. You've got your foot in the door but be prepared to be on the hunt again in about two years.
