What is MSP?
A managed service provider
(MSP) sources candidates through a network of third party vendors to fulfill
job openings for an end client’s contingent workforce program. A one-to-one
vendor management model is used between the provider and the end client. The
MSP relies on other vendors to deliver viable candidates for requisitions. An
MSP is viewed as a liaison between vendors and a client.

Java:
Spring = application development framework.
Spring Boot = Spring Boot is a module of Spring Framework, used to develop REST
APIs & for building microservices.
REST API = Microservice
Microservices: = collection of smaller independent units
monolithic applications - built as a single unit n independent applications,
While a monolithic application is a single unified unit, a microservices
architecture breaks it down into a collection of smaller independent units.
These units carry out every application process as a separate service.
Swagger= documenting API.
OOPs concepts (Object Oriented Programming): The
four basics of OOP are abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and
polymorphism.
Collection API and Stream API: Java Collections
framework is used for storing and manipulating group of data. Stream API is
only used for processing group of data, STream API is a part of Java 8.
Version control, also known as source control, is
the practice of tracking and managing changes to software code.
Messaging services: (Active MQ, RabbitMQ, or
Kafka).
Mobile
Apps development:
Android development: Java, Kotlin, GIT, XML, SQL,
SDK, API, user interface, Android Studio. Kotlin: Android development
application; Android Studio: is the official IDE for Android development. SDK

by hardware and software vendors that developers can use to build applications
for specific platforms.
iOS development: (Swift, Objective-C, XCode, etc.)
DevOps
tools:
Containers are a form of operating system
virtualization, deploy an application.

The code can be written in any language, but it is
maintained by using Version
Control tools: Git, SVN, Mercurial, CVS, and JIRA. tools like Ant,
Maven, Gradle can be used in this phase for building/ packaging the code into an executable file
Continuous Testing: Selenium, TestNG, JUnit,
Docker Containers can be used for simulating the test
environment.
Continuous Integration tool called Jenkins
build this code using ant or maven.
Continuous Deployment:
This is the stage where the code is deployed to the
production servers.
Puppet, Chef, SaltStack, and Ansible
Containerization tools also play an equally important
role in the deployment stage. Docker and Vagrant

F1 Visa stamp on the passport expires in 24 months, you
are worried about how you can continue to stay in the U.S.A. Answer: You don’t have to worry. You can continue to
stay and work on OPT even after your visa stamp on your passport expires. You cannot stay in the U.S. with Expired Status
but Visa should be valid.
M.S. Degree – 24 Months
OPT – 12 Months
STEM OPT – 24 Months
Total – 5 Years
CPT is a Degree Requirements Working on CPT will be part
of your degree requirements whereas OPT is not related to degree requirements. you
won’t be eligible for OPT if you work in CPT for 12 months full time.
The OPT program has two variants, Pre-completion OPT and
Post-completion OPT. students can pursue the Pre-completion OPT while they are
still on their academics, and with Post-completion OPT the students can pursue
the program after graduation.
F-1 visa students are eligible for OPT after completing
their first academic year. OPT can be completed both before or after completing
your studies, but it’s important to remember that you are only allowed to work
12 months total.
CPT can be part-time (20 hours or less a week) or full
time (20 hours or more a week). Although, if you work full-time for 12 months
in CPT, you will lose your eligibility for OPT.
CPT must be completed before graduation. CPT employment
is part of your major curriculum that allows students to work in a paid or
unpaid internship you must receive course credit. Only certain employers
participate in CPT. Alternately, OPT is not employer specific and allows work,
not an internship or co-op, and you do not need to earn course credit.

I-94 : Arrival and Departure form
I-797 form: receipt
When you submit any USCIS application, you will receive an I-797, also known as
a receipt letter,
Form I-797A : change of the person’s status has been approved, stay is
approved
Form I-797B : petitions had been approved but that the COS or
Extension of Stay had not been approved.
Form I-797C: The I-797C form is only a copy of the already approved
petition and is given to the applicant’s employer for their reference file.
An I-797 is a form issued by USCIS. It is typically used by USCIS
to communicate with customers or to convey an immigration benefit. It is
commonly called a Notice of Action form. The I-797 is not the type of form that
you fill in. Instead, it serves a variety of purposes such as confirming
receipt of a petition, requesting additional evidence or notifying the customer
of an approval.
For example, USCIS will send Form I-797C, Notice of Action, to a customer in
order to communicate information related to notices of: receipt, rejection,
transfer, re-open, and appointment (fingerprint, biometric capture, interview,
rescheduled).
Other Types of I-797 issued by USCIS include:
I-797, Notice of Action: Issued when an application or petition is approved.
I-797A, Notice of Action: Issued to an applicant as a replacement Form I-94.
I-797B, Notice of Action: Issued for approval of an alien worker petition.
I-797D Accompanies benefit cards.
I-797E, Notice of Action: Issued to request evidence.
I-797F, Transportation Letter: Issued overseas to allow applicants to travel.

In US there are four time zones and they are as follows
1.
Pacific Time Zone (PST)
2.
Mountain Time Zone (MST)
3.
Central Time Zone (CST)
4.
Eastern Time Zone (EST)
1 hour is difference between every time zone.
Example: if time in EST is 6:00PM then the time in CST is
5:00PM, MST 4:00PM, PST 3:00PM
RFX process:
Involved in RFX process. RFX is an
acronym used in sales industry and “X” is replaced by several characters, based
on different documents of sales activities. RFI or RFP or RFQ or RFB or RFT are
documents sent by client.
Business development manager or sales
manager or field sales manager from the staffing firms fill/add information on
these documents and send it to the client. With these documents, client will be
able to evaluate the staffing firms, discuss with them and if clients are 100%
satisfied, they distribute the requirements to clients.
RFI – X replaced by I – Request for Information
RFP – X replaced by P – Request for Proposal
RFQ – X replaced by Q – Request for Quote

A P&L usually has five main components: revenue

Non-Disclosure Agreement
(NDA)
agreement is to keep private
information secure from shares to the third parties. It protects your business
idea against copyright violation.
Master Service Agreement
(MSA)
sets the basic terms that will
regulate future agreements between a client and an agency. It includes maximum
possible terms and speeds up the agreement process. In the future, you won`t
need to renegotiate the deal and focus on project details instead.
An MSA typically includes: Service overview Payment terms:
the rate, deadlines, covered and uncovered expenses Audits: the ways a client
can check the progress of the project completion Confidentiality terms Product
warranties Dispute resolution process So, MSA governs the entire relationship between the
parties. It doesn`t include the process of service delivery. You may be
interested in signing a Master Service Agreement if you never worked with an
agency before. However, if you don`t have MSA, it is crucial to outline all the
legal terms in the Statement of Work.
Statement of work (SOW)
is a contract between a client
and an agency that includes the specifics of each product and the services to
be delivered. It usually works as a project agreement and sets expectations.
The parties often sign SOW along with MSA. These are the key elements of SOW:
Project overview and results to achieve Project stages: the ways each will be
completed Deliverables: what is to be produced Deadline Costs: estimates and
payment schedule KPI Additional legal sections (if no MSA) SOW provides
in-depth information on deliverables, requirements, standards, and criteria of
every project stage. It becomes a “guideline” for the parties to determine what
is “in scope” and “out of scope.” That is why a well-structured statement of
work prevents conflicts between the parties and makes the outsourcing process
safe.
Service-Level Agreement
A service-level agreement contains: Business objectives
to achieve Service deliverables Performance expectations customer sets to the
provider Legal effects if the provider doesn`t follow performance standards
Pricing terms Put simply, SLA helps you to clarify what product you will
receive.
EU GDPR
the EU General Data Protection Policy (GDPR). It applies
to the organizations that offer services and process private information. Per
your request, we can sign the GDPR agreement to make sure your data is secure.
RFI - Request for Information
which will include budget
details, timing of work and a thorough description of the project scope. All
requirements of the project will be addressed, with you showing the specific
steps or solutions you will follow from day one to completion.
RFP
A Request for Proposal is a
document that is used to obtain comprehensive proposals from capable and
interested companies, to demonstrate their skills, experience and knowledge
will enable them to take on the described project.
SOW
The Statement of Work is a
document that the companies will use to describe what will be happening during
the project. For example, the SOW should indicate all items that will be
delivered, the timeline or timelines involved and when invoicing will take
place. You are spelling out everything that will be done, and the terms may be
done for a fixed cost or on the basis of the materials and time expended,
subject to negotiations, of course. The SOW declares what expectations and
underlying assumptions are associated with the project. Your organization will
be legally obligated to deliver what you agreed to in the SOW’s terms when it
comes time to formalize the contract.
MSA
A Master Services Agreement or
MSA serves to define how your company and the other company will work together.
One key element of this document will be the terms of payment. The decisions
you make on payments timing and amounts will naturally involve your CFO and
accounting department, such as whether it would be best to offer a discounted
rate to win a particular job or whether your revenue cycle is strong enough to
withstand later payment terms that you would otherwise object to.
NCA
A noncompete agreement is a
contract between an employee and an employer in which the employee
agrees not to enter into competition with the employer during or after
employment. These legal contracts prevent employees from entering into markets
or professions considered to be in direct competition with the employer.
A noncompete agreement is a
contract that prohibits an employee from working for or becoming a competitor
for a certain period of time.
Noncompete agreements are
enforced when a relationship between an employer and employee ends and the
employer wishes to prevent the employee from competing against them in their
next position, whether working for a competitor in the same market or starting
up another business in the same field.
Performance metrics:
Recruiters have to fill details in the recruitment
tracker consistently for proactive hiring and reactive hiring, by which they
will be able to learn from their costly mistakes and measure their own
performance from the following metrics:
1. No of
resumes submitted for the requirement
2. Turn
around Time for submitting the resumes
3. Qualified
Resumes to Requirement
4. Submission
to selection Ratio
5. Offer
to joining ratio
6. Number
of Hires

Talking to fewer candidates and speaking less time with
the candidates
Forwarding the resumes without doing the preliminary
screening.
GDPR
compliance (General Data Protection Regulation): UK organisations
GDPR affects recruitment by changing how personal data
can be collected, stored and used. It will be more difficult to process large
volumes of candidates without having an actual relationship with the candidate.
. If the employer intends to keep the details of
unsuccessful candidates on file for future recruitment rounds, it must notify
them of this in the information notice. It should either obtain the candidates'
consent, or notify them of their right to object (if it relies on its
legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing).
The policy should cover how the employer will deal with
unsolicited personal data, for example CVs submitted on a speculative basis.
The policy could state that if the employer receives an unsolicited CV at a
time when it is not recruiting, it will delete the CV and inform the candidate
of this. If the employer holds unsolicited CVs on file for future recruitment
rounds, it must inform the candidates of this in a privacy notice, along with
the other required information.

Proactive recruitment is focussed on sourcing,
engaging, and attracting candidates before hiring demand.
Reactive recruitment is finding new employees for
the roles that have just opened.
If you are proactive, you make things happen, instead of
waiting for them to happen to you. Active means "doing something."
The prefix pro- means "before." So if you are proactive, you are
ready before something happens. The opposite is being reactive, or waiting for
things to unfold before responding.
Workers
Classification:-
What is a Consultant/Freelancer or Contractor ?
A
consultant, also referred to as a freelancer or contractor, is a business or
individual that provides professional services or advice to a client or company
in exchange for compensation. A consultant generally specializes in a
particular area or industry, such as marketing, human resources, engineering
etc.
Consulting
Agreement /Consulting Contract/Business Consulting Agreement/Independent
Contractor Agreement/Freelance Agreement
The U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
conduct regular company audits with the goal of finding employees who have been
misclassified as contractors.
The
consequences for such misclassifications can range in severity depending on
whether or not the misclassification is intentional, unintentional, or
fraudulent.
Workers
Classification:-
1)
Employees: on Clients W2

2)
Contractors:

taxes

hours if work in a month etc.)

C2C
--------------
#Companies
provide a Form 1099-MISC to independent contractors that they work with, and
employers file Form W2on behalf of their employees.
#If an
employee is misclassified as an independent contractor, you could be subject to
costly fines and legal fees. And W2 workers who are misclassified as
independent contractors can sue your business for benefits they were denied,
such as health insurance, overtime pay, and the minimum wage.
#1099
workers can also choose to hire their own workers to help them deliver the
product or service that you hired them to provide. In other words, independent
contractors assume the risk for their own profit or loss when they carry out
their jobs.
#Since your
level of oversight over independent contractors is relatively low, your level
of financial and legal responsibility is low, as well. 1099 workers pay both
employee and employer self-employment taxes—so, if you choose to hire an
independent contractor, your business doesn’t need to pay payroll taxes. And,
as their own business owners, 1099 workers aren’t eligible for the benefits you
might offer your W2 employees, such as health insurance, paid time off, and
overtime.
In most
cases, a company can let an employee go for poor performance or any other
valid, non-discriminatory reason. An independent contractor, on the other hand,
works and receives pay according to the terms of a signed contract between the
parties. They also pay their own taxes.
Benefits
like health insurance, retirement contributions, and flexible spending accounts
are available to all qualifying employees in a business. As we mentioned
earlier, benefits aren’t available to independent contractors doing work for a
business.
IRS or
Department of Labor audit you and find that you’ve misclassified workers.
Because when it comes to 1099 vs. W2, the IRS is stringent: They can can levy
back taxes and penalties of more than 40% of the contractor’s pay. And the DOL
could require you to pay wages going back three years.
Less legal
risk to your business –
Lowers
business costs You don’t have to provide a minimum wage, overtime, or benefits
to independent contractors. There is another interesting W2 vs. 1099 tax
difference as well: Since you don’t have to withhold income taxes or pay
payroll taxes, there’s also less of a paperwork burden on your company when you
hire independent contractors.
You
can hire 1099 workers for specific projects, but you can’t control when or how
they complete their jobs. You’re not responsible for covering their Medicare
and Social Security taxes, and you won’t provide them with the same benefits as
you would for a W2 worker. This may be a less expensive option.
W2 workers,
on the other hand, require a regular salary, certain benefits, and more
intensive management. The financial costs of hiring W2 employees may be higher
than 1099 workers.
The best
practice is to consult an employment attorney and tax professional before
making your final decision about how to consult your business’s workforce.
S-Corp VS
LLC:-
LLC -
Limited liability Company
by default,
a single-member LLC is taxed as a sole proprietorship while a multimemberLLC is
considered a partnership. ... An LLCtaxed as an S-corp means the owner's salary
will be a business expense so the owner will report salary and other business
profit on their personal income tax return
However,
LLC owners can choose to be taxed as an S-corp. By doing so, business owners
can often reduce their self-employment taxes.
registering
their company as an LLC and electing S-corp tax status. This gives the business
owner the legal and organizational benefits of an LLC, but the IRS treats the
business as an S-corp for tax purposes.
Corp to
Corp
With corp
to corp, you're a normal contractor. You have to be an S-corp or LLC,
you will be
responsible for quarterly tax filings. You might be paid month-to-month; your
S-corp or LLC invoices the company,
1099
In order to
work as a 1099 contractor, the first step is to create a business that is not
incorporated. This business entity will not exist independently of you, so you
don't need separate bank accounts. If a 1099 contractor doesn't pay taxes, the
IRS may go after the employer and hold the company liable for the tax
requirement.
The major
difference between C2C and 1099 is that with C2C, you don’t have to pay self-employment
taxes on your income. However, you do have to pay yourself a salary and
with it both employer and employee taxes.
------------
Difference
Between W-2, 1099, and Corp-to-Corp Workers?
W-2: A
Contracted Employee
1099: An
Unincorporated, Individually Owned Business
Corp-to
Corp: An Incorporated Contractor
If you’re
using a corp-to-corp relationship with someone, it just means that you’ll pay
an LLC or corporation for services rather than the individual worker. (That’s
where the name comes from — your “corp” will be paying the worker’s “corp.”) A
contract worker under a corp-to-corp agreement must own an LLC, a corporation,
or an S corporation.
Similar to
a 1099 independent contractor, the contracted worker under this arrangement is
responsible for all taxes, which will be at a higher rate because of the
business’s obligation to pay into Social Security and payroll taxes like FICA.
corp to corp :
It is the Parole run between two incorporations (Pvt
Ltd.)
H1s are eligible. US Citizens & GCs may also eligible
provided he/she has incorporated company.
1099
In this tax term the consultant himself pay his parole
taxes.
US citizens $ GCs are are eligible. No H1s.
W2
W2 is of two types and they are classified as follows:
First type- W2 is with benefits. In this case the
consultant will get insurance, paid vacations and travelling expenses.
Second type- W2 is without benefits. In this case the
consultant will get only parole taxes.
US Citizens and GCs are applicable.
