How can we fight back against Infosys, TCS and other Indian consultancies?

[BlasterBates]

not any more
with the new points based system coming up ,they only need to pay £20k

Then you have your work cut out to keep ahead of the game. This was always going to happen after Brexit to compensate to keep British businesses competitive.

Not that much of a coincidence - it was a quite a big story up here at the time, in fact I’d already read that post just a day or two ago.

He should have disclosed this conflict of interest in the public register of interests and recuse himself from speaking or making decision about the areas that this company is involved in. For example he shouldn't have been involved in IR35 legislation, as this one is favouring big consultancies.
Quite similar case was with Victoria Atkins when she was a drugs minister.

The IR35 policy was announced by not the chancellor before Sunak, but the chancellor before that as well. Philip Hammond. He just happens to be chancellor when the due date arrived.

what if the same thing happens with your newly acquired skill.

You do know that are minimum salary requirements for UK working visas.

Intra-company Transfer visa (Tier 2): Eligibility - GOV.UK

The minimum salary is:

£41,500 for Long-term Staff
£23,000 for Graduate Trainee

These salaries are comparable with the national average in the IT industry.

Contractors need to upgrade their skills rather than whining.

When I was starting out as a Graduate I lived in a shared house. There would be six or seven of us in one house.

Problem is 'whining' contractors, as you so delicately call them, started professional life working their way through permanent employment. Outsourcing to the sub continent means British Industry is developing Indian graduates and not British ones.

I struggle to see how that can be anything else but extremely short sighted by the government.
