Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
I used to work at one of the WITCH companies (Wipro Infosys TCS Cognizant HCL) and took Blind / reddit / YouTube advice to move out of WITCH about 3 years back. But despite all its flaws I find myself reminisce about the WITCH days. - laid back lifestyle - boss that used to say bhenchod / maderchod in meetings - job security - initial learning program where they pay for your housing and food for a couple months - months of bench - all my coworkers were average / failures - ch*tiya client ch*tiya junior ch*tiya boss
I did my time and moved out. The pay was shitt - but the folks were genuine. I loved their company. I was motivated to move out and i tried hard and cracked a good company. Since then i have worked in FGA. Their business model isnt made for folks to make a good TC. But that does not make them bad. If you choose to remain there all throughout, then its a problem
Join a former WITCH team in FAANG. My last company had a lot of former WITCH so now at G I make sure to add a pinch of benchod at meetings and I’m not even Asian lol
I used my WITCH offer as a leveraging tool for other companies last year before graduating and it worked like a charm 😌
You think anyone cares about WITCH offer?
I never mentioned the company name, I just told the recruiter, “I got an offer that expires on XYZ date”
I thought WITCH was the Indian sweatshop of tech but you said you had good WLB?
Use WITCH companies to get US Greencard/Canada onsite and then move out as fast as you can . People underestimate WITCH companies , you can be a 6 year experience in them and will by default have people reporting to you hence making you eligible for a L1A and EB1C greencard in 3 years in US , whereas a 6 years SWE in Amazon will take a lifetime to get a greencard If you get a Canada project ,stay 1 year file your own PR and get out If you get a Europe onsite , hold for 3 years and get PR and get out If you get Australis onsite , again hold 4 years and apply for passport they are the best way to immigrate , rather than paying 100k $ to do useless masters degree
True .... May be some witch EB1c going to disagree ..

Oh god this sounds so much like my company 😳
WITCH is the asshole of tech.
Ahh! The culture makes me shudder
