Expect this cycle to be perm. The infrastructure, education and language barriers are completely gone now. This is my third cycle too, and its different this time.

In 2006 the Indians would randomly cut out, couldn't be on video (phone only) and had major language barriers, and they would join in their evening.

Now in 2024 you're on their schedule. Believe me, those people are not staying up late for your 3pm call. Wake up at 5am every day to keep your job, you have 3-4 hours to work with them.
