Yes and the "onsite carrot" is dangled in front of anybody who asks for higher pay/appraisal rating, resigns, or in general is not a happy camper. It was dangled quite profusely when I put in my papers at my first co. I said that is not something I want since I've already stayed there for 4 years :). Working in an IT co in Bombay and the resulting long commute - just couldn't take it anymore. The funniest aspect of around a year there was that I never used to see my roomate during the week - he had to be at work by 9.30 and used to come back early while I had flexible timings. Both of us being in the financial industry meant we worked Saturdays, and so Sunday is the only time we saw each other. I wonder what those who are married or have kids are facing in that city if they're working in IT.... Kiran
