No Title
In this country just being technically good does not help. Also, timings plays a major role for consulting. Infact I am at my client site (since last 2 years) which is also a .com company which is going to be public in August. Till today they are paying very high rate to my employer for me. But once I am out of here, I will have to cut down my rate (and salary) by atleast 30%. Else I will not survive in this market.
Infact situation is so bad, desi companies are offering "Buy One Get One Free" java consultants (No Kidding!!).
I had also tried dice.com. In last Dec00 and Jan01,I got 30 replies once I announced my availibilty. And when I tried 2 weeks back, I got 2 replies. Does this mean I have become bad programmer in 6 months ???
So guys just hang in there .. help each other out, espicially people who are on verge of getting their approval.
(FYI, I got my approval June 9th after interview at Newark.)
