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 model 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.
