India’s IT industry
India is a proud contributor in the global IT industry. We are talking about companies whose valuations run into upwards of Rs 10 lakh crore, companies which individually employ lakhs of individuals.
The Indian IT companies provide livelihood to more than 40 lakh people directly involved in information technology at all levels of skill.
Perks of being employed in a big IT company
A large company in the field of IT, ITES, or SW often has offices in metro cities on India.
Also, these companies recruit talent from colleges and universities all over the nation.
Thus, this means a vibrant lifestyle in big cities with all the perks that come in a tier 1 city like independence, night life, potential of an active and engaging social life, along with friends from all parts of the nation.
There is one more perk also, and for that we need to set our eyes beyond our national borders.
Off-shore?
Off-shore posting in the context of Indians working in big companies means a life-changing opportunity to work for the company in a nation other than India.
Most often, these countries are US,Canada, UK, and Australia.
Thus, these jobs, besides providing a lucrative employment, open up a possibility of legally serving in a developed nation.
What’s more is the possibility of Permanent Residency or Green Card. And taking family along may be an option too.
The company of the individual provides help in managing the paperwork, and the same is not complicated and ready resources are available online if any guidance is required.
But what about Covid?
Yes, it is true that the pandemic has upended the lives of millions of people, families, and businesses.
However, did you notice the steep rise in online services once most of the world was forced into their homes.
We all have experienced the importance of apps, software, and internet access.
Now, these apps, websites, and software need to be developed and maintained, right?
And who does this? Intelligent men and women – knowledge workers - like you who have chosen IT and related industries as their life’s calling.
IT workers are valuable
To honour the time, skill, and dedication of IT workers, most of the big companies in India gave all their staff pay raises in addition to other financial perks.
These industries are evergreen given the non-stop advancements in technology.
Simply put, IT workers will not have to worry about putting food on their table.
