Does India have their own version of an H1B visa program?
I work in the Oracle database area. I'd like to move up the ladder and eventually become a senior Oracle DBA. If I wanted to move to India and work as a junior DBA for an outsourcing company to get some experience, is there a work visa program India has that would allow this?
I dont get the point. Whatever job you are thinking of finding in India, you will get it here as well with less competition and higher pay. You know that a bachelors degree in engineering is becoming equivalent of a arts degree in India.
I'm not sure about that, but then again I know virtually nothing about the tech labor market in India. One thing I know for sure is that I work with Indian H1B visa workers all the time (remotely) that have a low competency in Database administration. I've worked with so many who completely suck at reading documentation and following written instructions. Yet they have their fingers all up in some company's databases.
Yes, the quality is suppose to degrade because like I said it is becoming an equivalent of an arts degree and every other person is able to become an engineer in India.
The people you're working with in India from US are not and will not be paid the salaries you would want as an American living in India. Also those companies don't offer any sort of technical career growth. for context, most people in Infosys start off with about 300k INR per year and top performers will be at 1.2 million INR per year at 5 years of experience You can probably move here,yes you reeaaaly don't want to, unless you value things such as maids and bidets more than lack of pollution of all sorts,24x7 power with central heating/cooling and capitalism
You're a tech worker in India right now?
yes
people, OP is asking whether there is is equivalent of h1b in india? OP is not asking whether pay is low or high or quality etc. Get it?
it's very easy to move to India, although the visa process is not so transparent. Google is your friend.
So it's easy to get a work visa for a tech job? With a US bachelors degree and some existing tech experience, specifically with databases, would it be easy to land a decent tech job?
it's easy to get a visa. but finding a job might be difficult since India already has a huge cheap labor market.
