Full Time Php Pro­gram­mer Or Fixed Cost

There are numer­ous com­pa­nies in devel­oped world which have explored Indian soft­ware devel­op­ing com­pa­nies for their out­sourc­ing work. Accord­ing to pre­vail­ing stan­dards, they may have cho­sen one of the model for hir­ing PHP pro­gram­mer or devel­oper, either Full time or Fixed cost means con­tract based. Both have their own pros and cons. Let us see it by its var­i­ous aspects and see that how is it use­ful for off­shore com­pa­nies who are seek­ing out­sourc­ing work in India.

Job Dura­tion

Fixed cost project in pro­gram­ming indus­try are of var­i­ous dura­tion it may last up to one month, 3 months, 6 months, one year or more. Fixed job are likely prone to end at any stage and that depends upon the ser­vice obtain­ing com­pany. This does not hap­pen with full time hir­ing model. They are more likely to move to another project if one project is fin­ished ear­lier or ter­mi­nated unfinished.

Job Sat­is­fac­tion

PHP pro­gram­mers are expected to deliver good and stan­dard cod­ing even within the time limit and within a bud­get if the cost of project is fixed. If PHP pro­gram­mer does this, he or she will be rewarded with good feed­back. This way fixed cost devel­oper has to live for the sat­is­fac­tion from being good at what he or she does.

In full time PHP pro­gram­mers are expected to love the com­pany. Ded­i­ca­tion is demanded here. There­fore, job sat­is­fac­tion comes with work­ing in team of other pro­gram­mers with some com­mon goals. With time bonds, affec­tion and ties with each other pro­gram­mer grows and com­pany deep­ens. So out­sourcer builds a long term rela­tion with the out­sourc­ing com­pany in India as well as developers.

Income

There are chances that fixed bud­get projects may totally earn more than full time PHP pro­gram­mers do. But there is uncer­tainty always lies ahead and the off­shore com­pany has to find con­stantly search for next assign­ment after 3, 6 or 12 months. Bench time or unpaid time is prov­ing a lit­mus taste for fixed cost pro­gram­mer as well as out­sourc­ing com­pany. The shock of one month sit­ting with­out project and pay­ment shat­tered self-confidence of many out­sourc­ing com­pa­nies and their developers.

Ben­e­fits

Fixed projects come with over all higher amount of money than the full time hir­ing mod­els. Though the dif­fer­ence between full time and fixed cost is that it is dif­fer­ent in terms and con­di­tions for fixed cost hir­ing because project changes and require­ment changes time to time, whereas it is con­sis­tent in case of full time hir­ing pro­gram­mer model.

Tech­ni­cal development

Fixed cost pro­gram­ming demand sharpest skill and due to these skills only pro­gram­mer can earn. To get con­sis­tent earn­ing fixed cost pro­gram­mer and out­sourc­ing com­pany has to take many projects on hand there­fore, the fixed cost pro­gram­mer is left with no time to develop skills fur­ther or learn a new pro­gram­ming skill. In con­trast to this, full time hired PHP pro­gram­mers have enough facil­ity to go for learn­ing ses­sions or spare time to advance their skills. In short full time hir­ing will absorb a PHP pro­gram­mer with rusty skill but fixed cost PHP pro­gram­ming never allow low skilled pro­gram­mer to enter.

If you are com­pany and seek­ing long term asso­ci­a­tion with out­sourc­ing com­pa­nies in india, hire full time PHP pro­gram­mers with them. But if you are an indi­vid­ual and you are not sure about your fund­ing sources, rather assign a fixed cost project to a com­pany in India and relax till project finishes.
