Soliciting opinions: how long before onshore individual contributor tech roles for digital agencies just don't exist anymore? Should we look to consultancies instead?

We use a combination. TD in our team to advise and lead client tech engagements, on-shore for high value POC and quick work, and then offshore for scale.

For agencies - it will be always needed, too many clients want to have people face to face - also the off shore sources aren’t as plentiful as people think.

Given the premium on face to face interaction, do you think there's a future for primarily remote individual contributor roles in tech in agencies?

Hi All,

What would be the inhand salary for 6 LPA in Accenture?

How are your reviews of Nagarro? Is it better compared to Cognizant and TechMahindra? Does it renegotiate if we receive other offer after accepting their offer?

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.

Anyway, open and appreciative of any insight.
