Hello Mike,

I'm actually being paid more by Tech M than I was by BT but I was the last to get to the deck of the sinking ship and got caught in the anchor chain.

The Tech M contract is far more contactor friendly than that offered by BT.

The job was local, which was the only reason I was interested. The rate being offered Vs skill set being asked for was extremely low. Was for BT. Just wondered if they were a bunch of money grabbing useless scum bags..?

They are an Indian software house / bodyshop / recruitment agency. They are fairly huge. They are dirt cheap and provide a service level to match.

They are also sole supplier of contractors to BT.

Sadly, they are utterly hopeless so they in turn outsource to the usual crowd of agencies to do it for them.

They do a lot of work with BT.

I've not worked through them, but I know people that have.

I'm sure it's a wonderful opportunity if you live in India.
