Yeah, I've noticed the conventions are different for Indian and American recruiters. The Indians want lots of information up front, including my lowest rate before even we've talked about the details of the req. The Americans expect a certain amount of conversation about it first.
On the other hand the Indians will tell me, often in the very first email, who the client is. Try to get that information out of a Yankee recruiter before they know whether you're a serious candidate! --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* I am sick of all the chaos and the nastiness of our politics. It's exhausting, and frankly it's depressing. So I understand wanting to shut it all out, and just try to live your life, take care of your family in peace. But here's the problem: While some folks are frustrated and tuned out, and staying home on election day, other folks are showing up. Democracy continues with or without you. They're voting in every election, from city council to governor to president....When you don't vote, you're letting other people make some really key decisions about the life you're gonna live. You're just saying: "YOU do it". And you may not like what they decide. You might not like living with the consequences of other people's choices. But that's what happens when you stay home. -Michelle Obama, in a Nevada speech late 2017 */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of rpinion865 Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2023 10:22 I have had some off-shore recruiters ask for my SSN and birthdate.
