Hi guys,

Here is the review for grapnel tech, IA

http://www.desicrunch.com/DisplayReviews.aspx?company=Grapnel_Tech
.
I get 10 -12 emails every month from this company. stating this training started that training is going to start and fees 750 - 550 bla bla.

The people who are trying to contact me were: sara@grapneltech,alok@grapneltech,and one more i can't find his name in my email.

Bottom line: This is not good company to take training with. i dont know about marketing. There are lot of companies where u can get free training. but we need to search. do little research.

If u guys are really interested Go to desicrunch call company one by one there are thousands of company. I

Hi Sulab,

Let's make couple of things clear here.

1. Things are different now than it used to be year and half ago. At that time, You could easily find consultancies ( in hundreds) who would give you free training, place to live and give some money weekly for food and other expenses and even file H1-B at their cost whether you were from any background. This is why we see tougher rules now a days regarding H1-B.

2. At present condition, there is hardly any consultancies that won't charge you for a training, many of them are even changing their way of doing business into this filed. Most of them are focusing on things that doen't involve hiring and filing H1-B.

3. Now a days, even if u are from a related field, with solid background, they won't file ur H1-B unless and until you have project on hand. Things are worst upto a level where consultancies are not willing to file H1-b if u pay all teh cost too.

4.The best option I see or ( lets say my opinion or even what i Did couple years of back). I paid for my training ($700). I did my marketing by myself. I landed a job after a month. Then I went to consultantcy of my choice and did bargain on pay and even pressured them to file my H1-b @ their own cost.

5. One thing needs to be very clear now a days. Unless and until u have a project and related field, it is very hard to make consultancies file ur H1-B. I know it's hard, but its the truth.

If you want to work in areas like SAP, do not spend money on training; which I did earlier. I got gertied as SAP consultant as well. You will just have theoretical knowledge and no company care about it during hiring process because they know you really don't know anything; which is indeed true. My suggestion is go for entry level job in SAP even if the pay is very less. think this as long term investment. The only condition can be about the good placement. if the training institute promise you to place in company after training, then it may be worth spending for training.
