IT industry rant part 2

So. the answer for the IT related query in the previous post, is pretty simple rather.

Where would I end up in the coming years, well, depends whether I work for a product company or services based company!

A product based company can afford to hire people with more experiences to do the technical work. So we can work independently or with minimum supervision or whatever. 

But a services based company, would make us a manager sort of thing, where in, I would be the most paid guy in the team, which would comprise of lesser experienced people, in the 2 - 6 years experience range. So how would a services company actually make profit?

Well, they will bill the same amount to the client, even the 10 year experienced guy gets billed the same, and 6 year experienced guy gets billed the same. Only difference being, the salary given to the 10 year experienced differs from the one given to 5 year experienced. 

The services company actually makes profit because of the billing. So going by a services company standard, if I chose to be in one, will have to manage a team of some n number of people, getting from them the dumbest possible work done.

Regarding innovation and path breaking technology, well, I assume, that's best left for countries other than India. We are very happy making profits on billing rather.

Cheers to the Indian IT Industry!
