If I join SiliconIndia, can my current employer find me there?
Some people have expressed the concern that if their employer finds them on SiliconIndia, the employer will assume they're looking for another job. In reality, most of SiliconIndia's members are not using SiliconIndia to find a new job, but to do their current job more effectively. For example, people use SiliconIndia to find and contact potential clients, suppliers, partners, sources of information and expertise, potential hires, and anyone else who can help them do their job better. So while it's difficult to stop people in your current company from learning that you're using SiliconIndia, the point is that you probably don't have to. In fact, there's an advantage to intentionally letting them know how you're using it. The more people in your organization who are using SiliconIndia, the more valuable SiliconIndia will be for achieving your organization's objectives.
