It was a good hand, and I played it to pieces.

University school is Top10, CS major ranking is also very good. Originally, I wanted to apply for graduate school, but I didn’t expect that undergraduate study was too exciting and I didn’t take GPA into consideration. As a result, I failed to study for graduate school because of my poor GPA.

My parents advised me to go back home, but I didn’t want to “repair my fortune” at all. After failing the 7th company in front of me, I resolutely decided to move bricks to ICC. Although it was only a temporary status, I still learned a lot. Finally, I landed at Apple with the project experience of ICC.

There may be some students who don’t know much about ICC, or have many, many questions about it. Don’t worry, xiaobian first for everyone a simple popular science:

ICC is simply a combination of headhunters and outsourcing firms. Most of the recruits have basic CS level (tech major only). After a period of training, the recruiter will forward a polished resume to the desired client. If the client’s package is accepted, ICC company will take a commission ranging from 20% to 60%.

While the ICC is often criticized for faking resumes, “breakup fees”… Xiaobian also does not recommend everyone join ICC.

However, under the epidemic, new Grad is already difficult to find jobs, and job-hopping is more difficult than before. For students who want to study in the United States but can’t get into a big factory, ICC is at least a “safe card”. Working experience is better than a blank sheet of paper.

However, ICC companies are very different from each other, so you must keep your eyes peeled, or you may get into trouble!

H1B big player, average 9W/year, is ICC definitely!

Many students asked in forums and groups: How to find ICC? How do I determine if a company is ICC?

First of all, ICC companies are H1B giants!

Let’s look at 2020 H1B Visa Reports. Among the top companies, excluding well-known big companies like Google and IBM, the average salary below $10W is basically ICC without doubt.

Of course, if you want to determine whether a company is ICC or not, you still need to look at the post JD

  • 1. ICC will provide training and training content
  • 2. Pay by the hour
  • 3. There is a time limit for project completion
  • 4, need to sign a 1-2 year contract

However, when it comes to contracts, I still have to warn you that some unscrupulous ICC will mess with contracts.

For example, many ICC contracts have a “break fee” and a period of work, so if a contract is not a contract, it is a contract. If you sign a contract without seeing it clearly, you are digging a hole for yourself to jump into.

ICC cluster in the East of the United States, the characteristics of each is very different

To search a circle of more famous ICC companies in the United States, xiaobian found that ICC is mainly concentrated in the East of the United States, such as New Jersey ICC a lot of search, and bay area ICC can be said to be very few. Here are some of the most talked about companies:

The state of New Jersey

DC.Florida

Bay Area

Many people may not have thought that in the Bay Area, where big tech companies gather, ICC is pitiful.

Chicago

Of the ICC listed, Marlabs has the best wind rating.

Marlabs is known as M company, which belongs to a larger scale among ICC companies, and its salary is much higher than the average, with a base of nearly ** 7W/year and a promise of 10W +**** in the second year. In addition, ** has the highest probability of entering the market and can get more resources. Marlabs became many people’s first choice for ICC.

** How to make ICC background resume “refreshing”

** Although some people have successfully landed on FLAG by ICC, ICC is only a temporary foothold on the way to apply for a job. The ultimate purpose of entering ICC is to enrich their experience during the gap period and make their resume “better”.

But make sure you use your real resume, don’t lie! In order to “sell” contract workers faster, many ICC will go to great lengths to “package” your resume, which is, at worst, a false resume. But I must write about the projects I did in ICC! It’s a great resume item.

Is the ICC good or not? Xiaobian believes that for those students who cannot find a job but do not want to return to China, this can be a last resort. But don’t be naive enough to think there is a future in the ICC.

What kind of new job you can get is a matter of merit.
