Thank you for nominating @blackbeauty84's I Too Went Onsite! to the FP section. I realize and relate very well to the dreams of the software professionals about their onsite visits. When I was the CEO of the offshore software company back in 1994, the management team used to present names for onsite visits for visa processing and I was the one to approve the names. I had a very good habit of mingling so well with all the software professionals regularly inquiring about them and their families and had a very good relationship with almost all of them. The management team used to report about the politics, seniority, knowledge needed for the work, client's preference, the person who is fit for the onsite visit, etc. in raw form and finally, I used to do the final decision of who to send onsite and why. The management team also used to ask me to talk to both the person who was selected and the one who gets disappointed for not being selected.

To my knowledge, everyone by default had a dream to first to go to the US and Europe as the second option. Australia and Canada used to be okay option. There were no takers for the rest of the countries unless it is a short onsite visit.

Wow it's really great that you had final authority in deciding onsite. Knowing the employees very well I think you would have done the role-person fit really well.
Here in our office major clients are in Asia/Africa. So most people pass the on-site opportunities and management really push the employees for on-site.
