I wonder whether this sort of overseas job advertisement is pertinent for the people in India who do not have much analytic experience in business environment. Because overseas employers might not be happy to deal long visa process. Perhaps Indian employers may be interested. Though I'm not quite sure whether it is right. But that's my thought anyway.
