TCS Cognizant etc

Yes we have you guys to thank for knocking the contract rates through the floor feeling proud?

Admin before you get excited no abuse here just disappointing such parasites of this world are allowed to prosper.

With remote working becoming more and more normal, any remaining jobs will be gone too. Shape up or ship out. No one is required to provide you with a gig at rates YOU consider good enough for your services.

[AnthonyQuinn]

Hahaha, oh you’re serious? Keep going then...

They deffo cost less - it’s their only competitive feature.



IF?
You’ve never worked with people from these places have you? Come on, admit it...

if your skills are superior, then the client must be thinking the same and you are safe. No? Or is it only you that thinks you are better? If that is the case you are stuffed. Find something else to do.

[AnthonyQuinn]

I've worked through TCS for a retail bank and had no issues with them, but, if you have specific skills, be wary of them trying to use you to train their staff. Others have reported different experiences though.

If the Candidate Private Notice is just to ensure you don't approach the client directly, after their name is revealed, I can't see any issue with that.

why not? why dont you actually add 'training their staff' into the contract? And ask for a premium? Everyone is a winner.

Short term v long term view. And I have no interest in training - its not always about the £££s. And, the end client would have had no interest in me training TCS.

Its been a while since you used stories from/about "friends" to troll. I've been missing it.

then how will they be contractors?

[BigDataPro]

then how will they be contractors?

1. Sponsor and bring them in as employees (Only an Employer can sponsor, right)
2. Once landed, Individuals are responsible to find a contract + rent accommodation etc
3. Individuals operate through the Sponsor (Like an Umbrella) or through their own company
4. % of day rate goes to the Sponsor (usually 20%-30%)

Sponsors hold on to, usually something as a Degree Certificate as a collateral. Similar practices are in place for the US as well.
