That’s enough to bring a huge revenue source for the company.

Typically, you will take 5 to 10 years to invest and get profits from a project, but for IT outsourcing, just good employees, you immediately get a stable source of revenue.

Overtime

 Although IT outsourcing can help you earn much money than other jobs, if you decide on doing this work, you must accept that you have to complete your tasks over time. In emergencies, the OT is something you will face regularly every day, you can be in the office to 8 to 9 p.m and continue to work on weekends. And this will impact your health, your daily routine and you will not have enough time to take care of your family.

Moreover, every business, every country will have different rules about OT staff. Even if OT is an obligate term on the contract when recruiting new employees. You can receive overtime costs that are higher or lower depending on the profitability of the company. Therefore, when starting participating in IT outsourcing, you have to accept trade-offs and a lot of things even though your salary will be very high.
