preface
Recently, a lot of people are discussing outsourcing. A few days ago, I saw a post saying that there was an outsourcing company who ate the company’s snacks, which was criticized by HR on the spot and attracted much attention in the IT industry. So what are the differences between outsourcing companies and non-outsourcing companies? I also say my opinion today!
What is outsourcing?
Outsourcing is a business practice in which a service or job function is outsourced to a third party. In information technology, outsourcing initiatives with technology providers may involve a range of operations from the entire IT function to discrete, easily defined components such as disaster recovery, network services, software development, or QA testing.
Companies can choose to outsource IT services onshore (in their own country), nearshore (neighbouring countries or the same time zone), or offshore (to countries farther away). Traditionally nearshore and offshoring has been about cost savings.
Under what circumstances would an employer hire an outsourcer?
1. Project very urgent
Generally, the entry procedures of these companies are very complicated. It takes about one week to recruit an employee through the normal way, which is a critical time for the project. So find an outsourcing company, find an experienced programmer to do it, so that you can ensure the quality and keep up with the progress.
2. To save costs
The average outsourced developer and tester should be paid less than their employer’s equivalent.
3. The project is a short-term project
Quite simply, the current project may be an old project retrofit, maintenance, etc. If completed, the outsourcer will be out of a job.
Outsourcing employees and internal employees really aren’t family
As you can see from the following diagram:
She said she was sent to work for a big company because it was big and offered snacks and afternoon tea during breaks. We all know that girls love to eat, and once this outsourcing female employee ate some company snacks. As a result, I received a message from the company leader on the same day, saying that she was an outsourcing employee, not a formal employee. Please do not eat company snacks casually. And I want her to pay attention to her quality.

The benefits and costs of outsourcing
The business case for outsourcing varies from case to case, but the benefits of outsourcing usually include one or more of the following:
· Lower costs (due to economies of scale or lower labor rates) · increased efficiency · variable capacity · greater focus on strategy/core competencies · Acquisition of skills or resources · Increased flexibility to adapt to changing business and business conditions · accelerated time to market · reduced continued investment in internal infrastructure · Access to innovation, intellectual property and thought leadership · Possible cash inflows from transferring assets to new providers
Some of the risks of outsourcing include:
· Slow turnaround time · Lack of business or domain knowledge · Language and cultural barriers · Time zone differences · Lack of control
In fact, there are three types of people who go to outsourcing companies:
-
Who has no idea what outsourcing is all about.
-
In order to get a little bit more money, some people might get 6,000 yuan if they go to a non-outsourcing company, but they might get 7,000 yuan if they go to a outsourcing company, so I want to remind you, if you go to a non-outsourcing company, if you do a good job, the 6,000 might become 10,000, but if you go to an outsourcing company, the 7,000 will become 7,500 after two years.
-
Is completely can’t find a job, because outsourcing companies do is, a lot of expats to other big companies, is to sell, here will be bundled sales, said they and other companies, if you want to buy this a few of us, also want to buy that a few of us, ha ha, this can be very, very cheap to buy junk, bundled out.
Why not suggest outsourcing?
Why not outsource? The overall reasons are as follows:
1. Not belonging
Considering that most of the people around you are not your colleagues, it is difficult to find someone to talk to. Working for one party one day, another party the next month, running around like a temp.
2. Poor pay
They don’t have their own work stations, most of them are temporary jobs, even a long table. Not to mention the salary. 80% of the industry salary, I lose. Overtime pay? Never heard of it.
3. Technology grows slowly
To party A, mostly old systems. The new project is just a front desk system, unable to touch the core business at all, a lifetime to add, delete and change the query interface.
So, who would choose to do outsourcing if they had the ability?
What do you think about outsourcing?
1, net friend 1: five insurance and one gold are paid by the least.
Five social insurance and one housing fund
2, netizen 2: In addition to adding, deleting and modifying the query and adjustment interface, can there be some more advanced operations?
Many outsourcing firms do not seem to be able to improve much beyond adding and revising
Most of the projects I participated in were political tasks or vanity projects. How can I grow up?
We workers can stay in a company for no more than two reasons: 1, money, high salary; 2. There is room for development. If the money is not much, it is difficult to survive, and there is no good technology promotion, it is not very friendly to the later career development.
You know in earlier years, IT’s wages are relatively high, a company, if there is no so many projects, light to raise the technical personnel, the actual operation cost is not low, but the technicians can’t afford to keep, because if once to project, no one do that also not line, that simple to find a group of technical personnel for the project, What do these people do when the project is over and the next project is coming? This has formed a sense of not being able to find a sense of belonging, so we should consider more before we choose outsourcing!
conclusion
Finally, no matter what form of outsourcing you are in, outsourcing is not a long-term solution. Unless you are the boss, Brother Yu still suggests that you improve yourself, leave outsourcing as soon as possible, find a suitable company, and choose your career carefully. After two years, don’t say to yourself that “you are young and don’t know how to choose a career”. At the same time, I hope to go higher and farther on the road of technology!
