Hardly, I prefer to work for far richer pickings from the comfort of my own home

Brexit should make the Indians happy, then. Gives less sway to the Eastern Europeans. Still can't believe we're not following the US model off onshoring to cheaper parts of the UK more. Banks would save a fortune having their back office functions along the M62 corridor, just like New York uses the Carolinas.

After Brexit the Indians will be in the same queue for visas as seasonal fruit pickers which is now being done by East Europeans.I am hoping that the home office will get so bogged down that the Indians will give up.

ALL visas for foreign IT workers should be cancelled today as long as we have tens of thousands of highly qualified & experienced UK IT staff on the bench! Then rates would also recover to more realistic market rates not billy no mates rates!

Doesn't work like that.

Thanks for the warnings, I accidentally submitted a CV to Avance this week.

They called back and the conversation took twice as long as it should have as I had to ask for each sentence to be repeated, the rate was about £75-£100pd lower than it should've been for the role and the agent asked me to add a specific keyword into every role on my CV within and hour so that she could "secure an interview with TCS".

I am approaching contract end and most likely some bench time but even with that in mind I couldn't take the application forward, it felt a bit dodgy.

Here is my current Gmail label and filter search setting

FROM matches
"adroitpeople.com OR avanceservices.uk OR avanceservices.co.uk OR brightpurple.com OR damcosoft.com OR ibuconsulting.com OR infoplusltd.co.uk OR mpower-plus.co OR silverlinktechnologies.com OR smartedgesolutions.co.uk OR ubique-systems.com OR tgcworld.com
"

I pasted that into Label and Filtering search for the conversations and then I select (*) Archive mail message, (*) Mark as read and also (*) Move to folder/label e.g. "ZZZZIndianRec" or something similar. I also update the matching conversations.

Then I never see the blasted emails and I cursory have a look in there "ZZZIndianRec" folder and then bulk delete them from time to time.

I also notice that some companies are using international calls over Skype or partner offices. Some even though I blocked the phone number on my iPhone, they still get through on Do Not Disturb or pass the Block number. I have no idea on Android.

They have social engineered your iPhone!

Yep, got contacted by a consultant from Tech Mahindra a little while back.. Utter shambles of a telephone conversation!

Proceed with the upmost caution. Better still, introduce them to your mate Tone... Ring Tone

These are top IT consulting companies from India

If you are getting calls from them better, I suggest you just take it or else forget contracting.....


What you really need to be beware of is agencies which do market research with no work on the table..... to be honest I don't mind cause I like everyone improving.

Your view is quite disturbing..... its best to be clear than to be clever.
