:yes::yes::yes: When will these people in the industry, pay their employees worth for their skills, not for the reputation of the institute they graduate...:(:(:(

This mutual friend Jolly_Roger is talking about is really bright and talented guy.. I'm not saying this just because he's my friend.... He was selected to U of J'pura for BSc Biology, but went on with BSc Sp Hon's in SLIIT. He's among the top 10 (if not among top 5) students of the 2008 IT batch. Along with academic brilliance, I know how much he's technically capable, as I'm a batch mate and a close friend... Still I don't think he's paid enough for his potential, because I also know few guys from UoM who are receiving 2-3 times more than my friend.. One such guy who is from Mora didn't knew how to view assembly info in the Visual Studio environment (I know this 'cos I was next to him when he was struggling to find where assembly info was..!!! now please don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to degrade the whole UoM alumni here...) He was a first year student of UoM, but Mabasher had still recruited him with a very high pay check.. It's OK to pay as much as the company pleases but there must be some reasonable association with the level of skills of the employees and their pay sheet.

I'm mentioning all these, hoping that by any chance someone from these companies will lay their eyes on this, and give proper consideration to the point I'm emphasizing here....

    we cant compare freelancers with SE who works... Virtusa is a Public Limited Company which targets to increase the profit.. they pay 8000 for Apprentices (freashes other than from Moratuwa Eng) Use Virtusa to build ur career.. then swap it... If they use us.. why not us...
    Virtusa (started is Sri Lanka, now based in US) is listed & trades in New York on the NASDAQ (VRTU)

    They do the development work in SL & India

    US$450 million company

    CEO Krishan Canekeratne (Founder of Virtusa) still owns over 7% of the company (US$35 million+)
