Ruthless Blood Suckers

I always want to write about these body shoppers who apply H1B for you. It is a good arrangement if market is good and you have so many opportunities. These companies pry on the ignorance of the H1B Visa laws and hence most of times fool people by paying them a fixed salary (Very minimal) where they take a bigger cut. You can ask that is what all Indian IT MNC's are doing, Let me write about it in my next blog.

If you are experienced, They will offer you a percentage on the billing rate. Normally it will be 80/20...

If you look at it, it looks cool and good, But catch is 1) You have to pay at the least 50% of H1B filing charges 2) You have to find the project and 3) You have to pay for the travel/accommodation expenses 4) You have to learn any new technology and above all 5) Even they split the 80/20 on Over time too.

So if you look at it, All they did was spent 1500 USD on you. Probably you might work with them for 6-8 years. Look at the profit which they get without adding any value to you or to the clients whom you will be working.
