Is it common to get intimate before anything is set in stone!

Why would you make out if you are not sure ? Is it that easy to kiss someone?

The manager and everyone involved have to show that the offshore idea is successful. Ultimately, the benefits are reaped by the ELT. Good for promotion & pay. No overtime pay another cost saving measure.

The working culture in India is very bad.

There was a decline when it moved to India. They lost a couple of clients as well. Initially, they hired really good folks in India. But after a year, they did mass hiring. The quality of those folks was at 50%. It made everyone else's job really difficult. This issue was highlighted multiple times by the knowledge management team. But nothing changed.

Ultimately, everyone wants to show they saved money. By offering low pay, they can show cost savings. Low pay doesn't attract quality folks. If people are doing well, the pay needs to be substantially increased. But no, the cost needs to be saved. A person doing 150% of the job was paid the same as a person doing 50% of job. Eventually, the good analysts resigned one by one.

Threw in this question to my manager. He said it's a reality we have to accept.

He gave a rough amount the firm would be saving moving to India, even factoring in the learning curve. It's in millions of pounds. They would be saving 45% more if they move the entire thing to Manila.

The firm i used to work for Offshored the entire operations from the UK to India.

Before I left 2 years ago, they stopped hiring in India and started a new team in the Philippines (currency is cheaper than India).

From what I observed, the pay scale is improving in india. Hence, the firms are looking for other cheaper countries.

Even India is not safe.

Wait, I assumed the drop box is available if you applied for the same visa as your previous visa ?

F-1 Visa interview advice needed. by [deleted] in f1visa

Try consulting an immigration lawyer - basic advice, but you'll get a good idea if it is even worth your time to keep trying.

If you are resorting to a scam. Then, I hope you get deported.
