Just heard from one of my neighbor who is on EAD was offered a role with Wipro , Client Microsoft and she / he was offered TC 50k. ~25$/hr for QA manual. Is it because of the skillset or they usually pay this low? I have read in multiple places they exploit Visa to bring in their people and even here they are exploiting people !! #tech #wipro
Wipro is worst among witch, their pay is very bad.
Do you know how much CTS pays for these kind of roles in the US? Just trying to get an idea
70ish k usd
A Wipro consultant once told me tongue in cheek W - Whatever I - Infosys P - pays R - Remove O - One zero
Lol
Lol 😂
I used to get 81k in Bay Area working for one of the witch. But hey I am actually kind of grateful as I dint have money to do masters but got an opportunity to come here and work and then switch to a much much better job
At least something is better than nothing, I hear you.
I agree to some extent that these companies bring you in lesser salaries and maybe that not right and govt/authorities should do something to fix it but at the same time I don’t agree that they exploit employees. They normally let you work on h1b/ead which allows people to switch jobs whenever they want
I have a friend working for MS through Wipro at 45k per year. He/She has been working there for more than 2 years. It’s hard for them to get an interview call coz of no to less us experience.
Not necessarily true ! It actually depends of role you are looking. If software engineer or SRE, you can get lot of interviews . This was my case in Bay Area
It’s not exploiting at all.. everything is clear.. person knows how much they’ll make and how much folks in FANG make. It’s generally skill gap. There are many folks who made it to better paying companies from consulting
Just curious — don’t you know the gender of your neighbour? Or you use “she/he” to prevent deanonymization by narrowing down the options to 3.5 billion people?
well, these days you can never be sure of gender, until you check it yourself

They’ll pay state h1b minimum wage. Employees are given Green card carrots. Wipro pays shit even in india. They hire undergrads and make them sign an agreement in india and pay them 300$/month
It’s demand and supply plus skill set my friend. Undergrads can get fang offers as well in India.. with loads of colleges the quality of talent pool is very wide and so is the pay scale.. for the 300$ job you mentioned there are hundreds of applicants for one role (if not thousands).
50k is generous for manual QA. You realize all they do is manually click links on webapps and report bugs? any PC user can do that. these people are like sand on the beach coming from QA bootcamps. plus being an immigrant without soft skills suppresses wage even further. desi consultancy bills msft for like $80/hr and gets its cut. sometimes there several middlemen consultancies, each taking its cut leaving 🥜 for employee
True that most manual QAs have not much to do but the device testing can’t be automated even then the pay is less!! but it makes sense the layers of middlemen and the pay cut these desi companies keep leaves almost nothing.
