Well, the second offer was made for two reasons ... 1) Anyone can be accused of going after the job with more cash on the table. I don't entirely blame him for going to Delhi where he got a better offer. My problem was his lack of professionalism in informing us. He's only 24, I cut him a break.
2) He had the guts to come back to us and check if there was an opening. I think that's cool. As I had already done the ground-work to check his technical skills, it was cheaper (in hours spent interviewing) to continue with him. - VB ______________________ Vinit Bhansali www.logic2go.com www.bhansalimail.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > et] On Behalf Of Badri Natarajan > Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 12:58 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [silk] Sad state of the BLR/Indian job market > > > > > For those who don't want to read above, basically ...
