You will get onsite for 6 month / 3 months in business visit visa and they get good billing from client and pay you per day allowance with accommodation and think they gave you top opportunity. 3/4 clients all are so good on work culture. Will deploy you to two projects and will say multi tasking is key for performance and hike. If you work hard, you would be recognised for sure.
