What’s even worse is that they are often from a firm that isn’t even the main contracting firm with the real company.
Some fat-cat Indian contracting firm (WiPro) is the point of contact with the real client, but WiPro doesn’t want to dirty their hands with, you know, actual people. So they in turn hire BumbleFark Consultants to find and run actual people to fill the positions.
Now you have TWO middlemen between talking directly with the client during the interview process, and TWO middlemen being vampires on your actual pay.
And on top of that most only want to hire their own countrymen, and treat people in general like crap.
Yup, and if the two layers ever have a dispute, guess who sees it in the paycheck (you) and guess who gets inconvenienced when it forces you to quit (the client).
