@MammaNeedHummus
More like Indian corporate evil.
Trust me, I absolutely love working for UK and Canada clients. I've had two clients from UK at this point and both are phenomenal people. -
@KDSBest This was in 2018 when I only had one year of experience. And the deal was 2 hours/day.
At my current rate and experience, you won't be able to hire me. Trust me. -
@SidTheITGuy hmmm... 8h/day would be 400$. Even if you 10x that I could hire you ;), but then I most like would hire someone local
-
@KDSBest 400$ X 30 X 12 = $144K salary annually.
10x that would 1.4 million annually.
Damn, that's a lot of money even by USA standards. I mean I could believe you given I have no reliable way to fact-check it.
But don't worry, I don't work for people like you who use money to scale and judge anyone. -
@SidTheITGuy you said 100$ per month 2h/day, which is 400$ per month 8h/day meaning 10x 4k$ oer month 48k $ per year.
TL;DR: I don't like working with 'most' Indian people. And some stories supporting that written below:
=====================================
A client calls me directly to get features/fixes done on their site. No middle management shit at the company I was working at, at the time.
So I quit the company, but the client has my phone number. So he starts texting me to get more work done. I tell him "I work for money, if you can pay me that, I'll do all the work you ask of me".
They praise my blunt-ness and say they will discuss it. And I never heard from them ever again!
=====================================
Client reaches out to me and gets me to work for them for 2 hours/day and pays me INR 8,000 (about 95 USD) a month. I say fine, I'll do the work.
I do the tasks as they say for 3 months then I ask for a raise to INR 10,000.
They start pointing out mistakes in my work, and they say they're not seeing the "dedication" in me. Only when I asked for the raise. Not before that, mind you.
=====================================
Vice President of the company tells me that he saw me in his dream the night before.
I've told this one before so I just threw that in.
=====================================
At the end, I do like some Indians that I work with. It's just that most of them try to massively underpay you, or want to get the most work out of you as fast as possible and sometimes both.
