Well, I used one of the body shops in India to move to the US on H1B. Then I switched to a reputed US company within months after landing. This is what every highly skilled Indian grads should do.

>Should do? How does ethics play out here? Promising an employer to work for them just to lure them and get an H1B visa and then ditching them? Doesn't sound ethical.

An H1B is not a promise to the employer, BTW. It is a regulatory requirement imposed by the US Government, and not everyone gets it (you gotta have a college degree, masters degree helps, and then get it through a lottery process). If an employee gets a better offer, he/she should absolutely take that offer.

I'm not sure how savvy employees jumping ship is a moral failing of the employee rather than a retention rate issue to be addressed by the company.
A lot of criticism is valid however rather generalized. The talent pool at large-scale, low-cost services industry in India is comprised of people who were mass hired, trained on the job and dug through a single skill set for years. That being said, there are pockets within the organization which do really well. It is worth noting, that it can't be a million dollar business without actually solving a business problem…

H1B visa jobs are supposed to pay the prevailing wage to the employee, if they did in fact do that how was OP able to find a better job so quickly?

Just curious: did anybody here had a good experience with a project done by Infosys? There must have been good teams and good projects.
Infosys built the original iOS App Store. It's not perfect, but for something which operates at a massive scale, it isn't the worst it could be.

I find it really strange that people are down voting this comment. Not only do these Big IT companies hire in mass, they also spend insane amounts of money and time training students who come out of college without exposure to real work. Yeah they pay peanuts and yes you would be just a face in the crowd. But they likely give you the biggest break of your life. People need to show some gratitude.
"insane amounts of money" is an overkill. I have worked for a year in IBM. We had a two weeks training course on Lotus Notes, sub-contracted out to a training institute. In a dingy place, in an inner part of the city. Even in companies like Infosys, most training is done in-house. So we are not talking about insane amounts of money. Additionally, if you need to really spend insane amounts of money to train freshers,…

While this is true it is has been created and sustained by Western CEOs for the last 25 years. Lets blame the right clowns.
I don't disagree with that in the slightest. Infosys is the optimized answer to shitty IT governance in the west. But that doesn't change the fact that it doesn't solve an actual business problem.
