Here's what I don't get about TCS: I worked for a local Fortune 100 company, and 20 years ago they started outsourcing IT-related jobs to TCS (and a couple smaller staffing companies). Mostly in India and South America.

Then about 10 years ago, the company dedicated almost an entire building to TCS, and TCS starting hiring contractors locally, and perhaps moved H1B's here to work on-site?

What's the next step, start hiring off-shore again?

You have to maintain certain ratio to hire locally and move h1b employees. Quite sometimes, you need client facing employee to be a local.

Also, what i have seen in europe is that, there is a mandate where in they have to publish the job locally and when they cannot find the employee, they can sponsor a visa and bring them into the country. However, what they do is, they would reject all the local candidates and claim that they could not find the candidate with right technology fit.
