Hello Sajha Gurus,

Any suggestion about consulting company, i am thinking to move to Texas area, Any idea hows Vastika is ? or do you guys have any better name ? Thanks in Advance

 Any one ? please respond

 hmm i am from Vastika. They are good as far as finding the job goes but anything other than that  is terrible.Its hard to get hold of anyone. The pay rate is significantly low that what others offer. The only reason I am still with them is because their marketing strategy is really good. Hope this helps!

 Thanks Alina, It relly helps, I am more concerned about the marketing, 

 I have worked for Vastika; I have also worked for a couple of Indian consultancies as well, and Vastika is by far the best consultancy I have worked  or have had experience with. They are reasonable on pay compensation and my experience is they will go out of the way to help you out if the need be - may be coz its run & made up of by Nepalese and there is a strong bond that exists. They are simple and humble in their dealings with their consultants unlike most Indian consultancies that give big and flashy promises but deliver not a thing. They might be at times hard to get hold of as they have high volume of consultants but they will respond to your emails or VMs.

I have many friends or people I know work for Vastika and I have recommended many to them - of course I dont get any commission ;)

The best part, they 'usually' sponsor GC after about a year's employment. 

Go for Vastika - Good Luck!

SuperSixNine, please don't lie!!!

Vastka never filed any green card (may be one or two) !!!

Period.

Folks pls dont lie. Their marketing as well as pay rate sucks big time. One of my friends (my room mate that time) worked for them. Ultimately he switched to next layer consultancy and he made around 27 extra bucks per hour for the same job (client) - just an example how much they slice out from you. In fact they were paying him 48% of billing. That's crazy.

Not a single direct client. They dont file GC (except couple of their friends, and i believe one case was rejected by USCIS).

I don't mean other desis might be better.. but this nepali consultancy is no better either.

 Thank you all for Input, do you guys suggest any other in Texas area ? Dallas, houston prefarable !!

LMAO @ supersixnine.



Lets guess how much is vastika paying supersix for this defensive response. My guess is he makes 6 bucks an hr plus 1.00 per hour from each guy he recruits for projects.....lol

When you defend, at least try to make it sound like you are not a hourly employeee there.

@sap dude- your comments make me laugh! Literally. Dude, chill, its Friday!

We all have different experiences with different companies. My experience with Vastika was great, as is the case with the people I know who work with them. I dont work through them anymore. If ppl dont want to believe, I do not care - just sharing my experience with them.

I used to make 7/hour when I was in college - a long time back but there are still people that make 6/hr - have some respect and humility! Hope you're not clouded with arrogance that you might make more than this.

Most of the consultancy they are in market to make money. I got job from Vastika. They are doing good to me so far. They provide me health insurance $4/per month after 3 month. They raise $5000.00 after 6 month. They said, they will increase $5000.00 after 1 year. I start from 63,000. About contract, vastica says do not leave the first project. I do not see, why anybody going to leave first project. Yes, I do not like about vastica is they marketing policy and need to prepare for interview. I have my friend who is from Indian consultancy, who do not get pay in time, do not increase salary in time. try to cut hours. About Green Card, they promish after working 3 years they will file.

munna bhai....six, and happy face....now we know for sure Vastika has atleast three laptops in thier office.

I thought Vastika was a shampoo.

You can think whatever you want, but I am expressing, fact about how vastica treat with me. I did complain about Vastica too, which I do not like. Once again, it Vastica do need improve in Marketing and preparing student in Interview.
About the money, payment, Most of student we used to work $10/hr, now we are making 30-35/hr, I think for first project it is great. Once you have experience, you can switch any company you like.

 SAP- Dude ,
I think you just hate Vastika for no reason. Whats wrong with you ? I am not from Vastika but I have seen lot of my friends landed to job from Vastika. More than 300 hundred nepali students are working from Vastika, are you jealous of thier success ? have you ever help anyone to find job ? If you cant do any help to others dont point other saying bad. Hate harms you borther, cool down.

 so on the serious note, looking at your thoughts , not to expect much but it is not bad to go with Vasitka ? 

Most of my Civil Engineer friends work in Vastika IT.
