I dont think so because basically Infosys is one of the world's biggest software company headquartered in Bangalore, India... they are the global leader in the "next generation" of IT and consulting ...powered by huge talent force of more than 100,000 employees (yes, more than microsoft, google and yahoo combined), and has offices in 50 countries and development centers in India, US, China, Australia, UK, Canada, Japan... so opening a call centre in US won't serve their s/w development objective ... and they being from india having CC there than US is more profitable.

Also performance review depends upon the corporate culture but then the bigger you are the diluted culture you have ...

At the same time you can use performance review to your own advantage, how? well you can easily identify whether your manager is just a good manager or GREAT manager - Good managers help their employees succeed in whatever role they happen to be in. Great managers see the unique talents of each employee, and then create the role that's a perfect vehicle for those talents. Great managers remove the obstacles that prevent their employees from unleashing their talent. And they make sure each employee has the right opportunities, the right stage, the right audience, to be fully appreciated.

call center jobs are in india - it would be way too expensive to start new CC here, also people here have just got used to twisted indian-american accent, so lets not spoil the hard work done in all these years :)

interesting to know that IT workers are more open to sex toys; may be because they're too tired by the time they go to bed - needless to say that that's the same reason why they are not selfish ... :)

americans won't be able to adjust to the indian system (corruption, pollution, high ego etc.), also they would have terrible US accent :) and finally "Emily" from US won't become "Chameli" in India :-)

Beside anything else, one knowledge society has to collaborate with another knowledge society to create intellectual explosion, period.

i dont know whether he's honest or not but one thing is sure that in real estate the value is almost all the time manipulated in a nicest possible way (putting value in the best light possible) ... there are many factors that needs to be considered to come to a value of a property, it depends upon the creditors whether or not to accept the project value ...

also one of the most important reason why Trump companies are not public limited is because then he (donald trump) won't be able to manipulate things and have to disclose every minute details of the each projects to the share holders ....

are they trying to say that foreclosures are more in non-white areas??? the stats in general says that new immigrant and non-white demographics has a higher savings ratio than average whites - the personal family debt is humongous amongst whites because of their buying habits of possessing everything big, big car, big house, big TVs, etc. ending up in BIG LOANS & MORTAGAGE!!!!!!!!!

i guess the non-white data is more of a help to non-whites than the so called real whites :)

there are many countries with no CGT (Capital Gain Tax)..

it would be really interesting (for the people migrating to other countries for better opportunities) if someone compares cost of living in different countries based on their CGT ... may be this would really change the whole scenario ...

for example if a family wants to decide between new-zealand and canada and lets say that their total saving (as per history) is around 10 to 20% which they regularly invest in real-estate/stock then CGT can change their decision or help them to make decision; of-course there are other factors such as job opportunities, cost of living etc. But for large amount of immigrants CGT plays a big role after they settle down in a new country.

i've also noticed problems such as submissions and comments not going thru, though it has nothing to do with password problem but still...

i think YC/PG has shared many things here and more they shared the more they have become popular, they have got more success, more press and more reputation & respects among startups, VCs and angels... so I think some tips & hints for how to start a starups in a right legal way is in fact going to help the whole startup community...

You MUST read it as well, it's regarding "Sudden Wealth Syndrome" and may be you should consult Stephen Goldbart and Joan DiFuria.

the socio-economic conditions from pre-independence have created the vicious circles .... also lots have to do with caste system as well; where brahmins were known as the best .... after independence if you want to do better then you have to have better education and to have better education you need to have better scores .... now the situation is so worse that even if you have better scores you still can't get admission in good schools ... the competitiveness has grown because of non-availability of very few premier schools. Also there is something like Status Symbol - parents are just dying to get some kind of status in the society and that they try to get it thru their kids... poor kids, the young minds are sometime destroyed because on this unusual pressures.

Also there is not much importance given to other extra curricular activities/career.... this is also due to to not having good institutions/infrastructure. If you are from middle class and god forbid if you want to leave your studies for getting in to sports or music or modeling then the whole society will come down on you as if you're a sinner. Though this mentality is on the verge of changing (in urban areas only) but not at the pace of 21st century.

i dont know who is the best ... u may talk to all and then decide ...
