I wonder if it will be a enlightment for people running software companies in USA, Western Europe and Australia, that 40-45 hours/week of work committment is considered as part-time working by software companies operating in Indian subcontinent. May be they want to do it in their respective countries as well, but their governments and labour laws are the hindrances they haven't managed to get rid of or circumvent.
A significantly large no. of companies representatives that contacted me directly or indirectly in past 15 months, get highly put off when told that I won't be able to give them more than some fixed hours of week. Couple of them mentioned that they are looking for 10-12 hours/day 6-7 days/week kind of work commitment; others have tried to act fair (in talks) about work culture and ethics at their place but later revealed the hidden agenda. Software development companies in India look for full-time workers, whose 24 hours/day of life they can control.
Fault also lies with Indian workers, who anyways have spoiled the habits of companies abroad and taken away bread and butter resources of many local people. Give them a slightly bigger piece of pie than they expect and..., well when they themselves are ready to be milked, why would corporate sharks leave any opportunity to drain even that last drop?
Sometimes I wonder if it is case only with IT workers that get more lured by the a dollor being equal to many rupees?
