Do you homework

Research the company on your own. Do searches on forums like this one. Talk to folks that work or have worked there, especially classmates who received a commensurate education to your own. Find out what they liked or did not like. Ask the recruiter the basic questions, if they are evasive or do not know the answer, that is not a good sign. Talk to job placement at your school (if they have that service) and find out what they know about the company. Listen to your own intuition; if you have a bad feeling about the company don't work there. Finally, don't pay someone to let you work for them. That is a frightening trend in this industry.

So you're wanting someone to do your homework
for you? Odd.

Yes, offshoring is a problem everywhere because India and Pakistan companies will do it for the equivalent of a cent or two a line, and you can't even buy lunch for that amount here. This isn't a good field to enter right now. Most MTs are trying to re-train and find other careers because you can't make a living doing this anymore. I wish the MT schools would quit blatantly lying -- someone should file a suit against them for false advertising.
