My early years were in a big outsourcing firm & man everything was delayed & over budget. 3 months of development became 9 months. Projects promised in 6 months took 1 year of development. Projects with older technologies like VB - which worked quite well, code was clean were rewritten for no benefit whatsoever. These rewrites were sold by marketing people. People were overbilled everywhere.

Glad I left the Indian corporate scene & started working remotely. Now I run a small remote QA team for an international firm at 30-40% less cost & delivering at least 2x times these corporate giants.
