I am working with a consulting firm which recently became evil.
First of all, they try not to increase my salery.
My current salary is the lowest when I search salary.com.
So obviously I want a raise and they don't agree.
They started to cut down the # of paid vacations and also don't want to pay for bench time any more.
I mean, is it even leagal? Well I questioned about it and they actually told me that it is leagal. They said they had consulted with the company lawyer. I strongly doubt about it.
Also they want me to stay with current project if the project itself will be extended. They told me they will punish(giving me a lot of fine) me if I refuse to stay. I will absolutely stay with current project till the end of contract. But if the contract is finished and extended, should it be my choice to decide if I stay the project or not?
For this matter, I was really offended and their answer was it is kind of industry standard. I just don't get it.
Anyway, my current project is ending March and for my next project I would like to change my company. I know a lot of companies are worse than mine so it scares me. I can change the consulting firm but how can I sure I choose the right company???
I know some staffing firms actually provide the hour rate to the consultant. I really like that system. I want to work with those firms but I don't have resource.
So, how do you find the staffinf firms?
Are you currently satisfied with your company?(I know it is tough question)
I want to find a good one like everybody else so that I can start to process GC with the company.
I want to contact to some of local company that has a lot of posting at dice.com.
But I was told that a lot of job posting at dice.com do not exist at all. They just keep posting so that they can collect resources like me. Have you ever heard about this?
