PROTECTED]: [Assam] $850 rent vs 880 pm salary Indian embassy in DC - Strange
room hunting Munna Bhai style works Miami, DC, New York CityHi,Some might like
to apply to US embassy for analyst position at a salary of only $880 per month
-- many have been working for many years on it. My roommate (now leaving for
NYC tomorrow) was an employee for 10 days till he got a better offer. We had
persuaded himto check out the place and get the experience which till recently
was reserved for the likes of Lord Mountabatten (in London based India Office),
Harivansh Rai Bachchan etc. Ofcourse it more like internship stipend that any
logical pay but the perks include that your spouse can work anywhere and you
can get alcoholic drinks at 60% discount since no duty or sales tax is charged
and also no US income tax or Social security or health insurance deduction --
since it is considered part of India (US embassy compound). Even by Indian
standards $880 is about Rs35,000 --about the amount an IAS officer gets or a
manager in a small MNC . It is less than what a bribe earning clerk might get
in Indian govt departments.However, even Harvard Business School professors
call up there to find about impact of globalization on Indian film and media
industry -as per a call received by my roommate and in the same day he collects
data in his trade ministry office to send as reply to a question raised in
Indian Parliament (Lok Sabha) about prospects in the west for Indian
artifacts.Last week he got a job in New York City (and got a $850 per month -
p.m. - apartment) and decided to leave this weekend (after delivering a steady
supply of reduced price hard drinks like Chivas Regal ($13 per 1 liter bottle -
in market about $39) or Johnny Walker Black Label (750ml for $20 --in market
for about $50). He resigned too soon for that though. Another ex-roommate of
mine (recently back from Miami) was looking at all this and decided to offer to
join our place after having some hangups with the leasing office at his
apartment place about his car parking despite his not being on the lease. He
decided to move right away last night and till 4am we were shifting his stuff.
Thats the time I generally go to sleep anyway. His previous roommates had
decided not to return his security deposit (one month's rent) even if he gave
them the required notice so Munna Bhai style he decided (with my feedback)
to stop payment of this month's rent check (which was still not deposiited by
the leasing company - he was not lease anyway) and withdrew cash from his bank
account so that check may not clear even if presented by leasing office. So in
the end he came quits but didn't lose. Paid one month rent (as deposit) and
stayed for 21 days. Now searching for parking space for free . Any suggestions
on how to get free parking space?UmeshUmesh SharmaWashington D.C.
