        So telling and so true

        With a strong dollar, a big part of the attraction was price. Engineers in India made around $5 an hour; it’s now $9 or $10, compared with $35 to $40 for those in the U.S. on an H1B visa, he said. But he’d tell clients the cheaper hourly wage equated to more like $80 because of the need for supervision, and he said his firm won back some business to fix mistakes.

          I did one, small, piece of work with HCL (Not for, thank God) and I've never ever met a team of such incompetent, arrogant and useless pricks.

              I think there's an intermediate round where PC is being PMed by suity.

                  When they said grounded, they meant on the ground, not in the ground.

                    Oh for all that is even the tiniest bit holy even to an atheist. HCL. Seriously? FFS.
