Advice to Jobseekers
Don't join an offshore foreign company unless you have a defined
role and it is a professional organisation.
If you can, join when it is starting up, you grow much faster,
even if it is not a blue chip firm, it's a better bet this way.
In India, change jobs once every 3 years, not less...
