Hi All I have applied through a consultancy and got intimated that got picked through the second round of lottery
Now they are asking us to pay 2 LPA for processing resume marketing and job..
Additional to that 2 LPA refundable after working with them for 6 months..So does it works this way. I know MNC's will fully sponsor..But this is Consultancy so I need to pay money to go
Is my decision correct
I'm a 9 year Cloud Tech Lead/Architect
