Re: remote DBA job - pros and cons.

the hiring company has a strong employee base in India . I guess in this case the client manager didnt agree to deal with a person who is in India so they are trying to fill it by hiring somebody who is here in US. I am not very sure but i think hiring lot of people on W2 give them a better impression while they project there company to USCIS to get H1s.
