India Becoming a Major Hub for Western Job Seekers

Posted by Cliff on from the finding-work-abroad dept.

MaximusTheGreat writes: "IHT and Financial Express report that many qualified Western professionals are moving to India for jobs. Two of the most common reasons mentioned are adding the Indian experience to the CV and search of better opportunities in a booming Indian economy. According to a Mumbai based head hunting firm, "A lot of the highly qualified talent has traditionally been mobile and attracted to centers of excellence globally. This was true of the US in the early 80s when top flight talent from India migrated in search of better opportunities. Today, the same is happening to economies such as India and China" This should also bust the myth that foreigners are not allowed work in India."

    Not being racist, but I can't be in close proximity to a billion people eating curry all day long. It's tough enough being in an office with a few of them.

    Curry, much like garlic, comes out of the pores. It's why some people think that Indian people smell. It's not that they smell, it's just that they eat a lot of curry. Italian people who eat a lot of garlic also "smell".

      OK, what I want to know is if Englishmen and Frenchmen both stink, how come Canadians smell OK? Must neutralize somehow.
