 "What recession? IIT grad bags Rs 70 lakh job with Twitter")
Indian grads are Valley favorites. A good case in point is Swapnil Jain, an IIT Delhi graduate who bagged a job at micro-blogging site Twitter for Rs 70 lakh.
Jain will join Twitter’s team at the company headquarters in San Francisco. The Times of India reported,saying that of the 30 people who interviewed with Twitter, Jain was offered the job. The report quoted Jain as saying that some of his friends will join Facebook and Google around the same time.
Internet giants such as Facebook, Google and Twitter seek out Indian graduates to fill positions in their companies. Last year, an NIT Warangal engineer was hired by Facebook to work at their Palo Alto headquarters for Rs 45 lakh. A few months ago, The Economic Times reported that Facebook was looking to hire Indian engineers to fill positions in the US, which is quite unusual for multinational companies which have Indian offices to do.

Companies usually send employees to headquarters for specific projects but hiring for offices abroad was a lesser seen phenomenon post the recession as most companies in the US were forced to restrict the number of visas it issued to foreign nationals.
The ET report quoted Prabhakaran Murugaiah, founder and CEO at Corp-Corp, a Virginia-based technology staffing company saying that companies hiring from India for jobs based in the US is rare but a trend that one will continue to see as US faces a talent shortage when it comes to engineers.
