Hola a todos, me han ofrecido un trabajo en Bombay de traductor (ingl茅s-espa帽ol) financiero. Yo ya estuve en India un a帽o, 2010-2011
Ayer realic茅 una entrevista telef贸nica y pregunt茅 por el contrato y me dicen que no hay contrato, entonces pregunt茅 por el visado que c贸mo lo iba a hacer. Me dicen que en India "contract" significa que t煤 est谩s obligado a trabajar para la empresa por un tiempo espec铆fico, pero s贸lo con la compa帽铆a que te contrata. Como no tienen contrato significa que te puedes ir cuando quieras e irte a otra compa帽铆a.
Si finalmente fuera seleccionada, ellos me dar铆an una "Offer letter", como carta de empleo donde aparecer铆a el d铆a que se empieza, salario, etc. Con ella podr铆a solicitar el visado. Ellos te asisten con las formalidades del visado. Parece que trabajan as铆 con muchos nativos y no tienen problemas.
El "contract" que decimos es la "offer letter" o carta de empleo, y me dicen que todo es legal.
驴alguien sabe algo sobre este asunto? Si me pod茅is ayudar os lo agradecer铆a mucho.

Un saludo.

Hi all, I have been offered a job in Mumbai as a translator (ENGLISH-SPANISH) financial. I already was in India one year, 2010-2011
On Thursday I had a telephone interview for the contract and they told me that there is no contract, then asked by visa what I had to do. They say that in India "contract" means that you are forced to work for the company, only this company, for a聽 specific, but only with the company hires you. Having no contract, then, means you can go whenever you want and go to another company both.
If he was finally selected, they would give me聽 one "Offer letter" as employment letter where would appear the day I start working, salary, etc. With it I could ask for the visa. They will assist me with visa formalities. It seems that they work, normally, in this way, with native people and have no problems.
The "contract" we say is the "offer letter" or letter of employment, and tell me that everything is legal.
Does anyone knows anything about this?
If you could help me I really appreciate it. Thank you very much.
