Hey Mallika,
First, market is very good in india and i am sure you will find a job easily. But the thing is you have to find the right job (the technology you want to work in + pay package you want + location).
Couple of things:
- Keep looking at websites of infosys, wipro, kanbay, tcs, and lot other companies, i guess some of them do attract ppl like us from here
- Emphasize well on any advance degree you got here (say if you have done your masters here, that really counts and not sure how much exp you have gained here)
- as Vjy said, send your resume to friends you have in indian companies, as always referrals go thru a lot better than thru careers sites
- also focus on resume (as my understanding goes there is a difference between the basic job requirements in india and here). The thing is here, we are more chosen for our programming skills/projects etc. In india, they look
for your team lead kinda skills, communication skills ofcourse as you would most likely be working on a big team interacting with clients here (unless you are looking to work for Google or yahoo india R& D or so which is great i think)
- also look at 2nd tier companies which are really booming now (as we being here mostly know only the biggies like TCS/WIPRO which pay less and suck you into their mammoth process oriented work flow. The gist is you end up doing less of actual work and more of things around work, you know what i mean :-))
Hope a lil' of my ranting helps!
