Hi friends,
I have been working in the Software Testing field (Manual and Automation) for 8 years now and would like to start finding a job abroad anywhere except for the Gulf countries.
I have a passport but no visa to any country as yet. I have been Googling the best consultants in Chennai for work abroad and also using sites like Sulekha. I did find a few consultants through them. However, the problem is when I rank them or visited them in person, they all asked me to pay a deposit of 10K-25K INR. I am quite unsure about this because I have heard a few cases (and even read online in various forums) where the consultants first get you a job and when you are placed, they will take an agreed percentage from your salary for the agreed number of months. I do not mind paying an upfront fee, but I do not want to be scammed.
So, what are the things I should look out for when applying to these consultancies? Also, if you can "suggest" (and not just give me a list because a list of consultancies is there on Google anyway), some reputed consultancies that have experience in finding people jobs abroad, then please let me know.
I appreciate your time and advice on this.

Any guidance, please? I do not know which way to go but seriously want to work abroad. Are there any genuine consultants out there? I don't really want to give them thousands of rupees before I get placed.
Help me out, guys!
