Why to join small to medium size company as a junior developer when searching php company in Indore ?
If you want to get a developer job then join small scale company for your first job because
1)These companies work on tight
budget and schedule. They do not
have the funds or time to hire an
absolute fresher and then train him
or her on the necessary skills.
How to handle it: Learn PHP, HTML,
CSS, JavaScript and JQuery before
you apply to these companies.
2. Even if these companies recruit
freshers with no knowledge of PHP,
they do not pay anything during the
training period (one to three
months) depending on company to
company. After the training period,
they pay a nominal stipend for a few
months and only then they finalize
your salary.
How to handle it: Learn PHP before
you apply. You will be in a position
to negotiate better salaries
3. In these companies you will be
expected to do a lot of things like
HTML+ CSS designing, PHP
programming, JavaScript and JQuery
Programming, Search Engine
Optimization etc. These are all very
different and diverse skills and many
new programmers get overloaded by
the pressure of these jobs.
How to handle it: This is actually a
good thing. You get the opportunity
to develop your skills at a very rapid
pace. So keep a cool head, discuss
with friends and other programmers
and just learn. All these skills are
actually very easy, once you know
them, so just learn them
4. In these companies, there is no job
security. Actually there is no job
security in any company anywhere.
But in these companies, if you do
not work as per the expectation of
the company, they do not have the
budget or time to work with you. A
bad programmer not only wastes the
time and money on the project he or
she is working, he/she also creates a
bad reputation of the company for
the client with whom you are
working.
How to handle it: Just work
sincerely, keep your self updated
and if you are facing problem in the
company, discuss with your seniors
before it is too late.
5. Conversely, in these companies you
can grow very fast. Since these are
small teams, each persons good
performance also gets noticed very
fast. If you perform well, you will get
additional responsibilities and faster
increments in salary.
6. Sometimes you will get the
opportunity to communicate directly
with the clients. This is a very
important task and interacting
directly with the clients and
understanding their problems gives
you a lot of experience and expertize
of the client’s business.
This usually makes you a much
better programmer.
How to deal with it: You must have
good English to get this position. So
if your English is weak, it will help if
you master this language also (apart
from PHP)
7. These companies invest a lot of time
and money in your training and
updating your skills. They expect you
to work with them for at least one
year. So do not be afraid if they ask
for bond of one year or something
like that.
How to handle it: Actually it is good
for your career if you do not switch
jobs very frequently. If you change
jobs every six months, the next
company will think that you will
leave them also very fast and that
reduces your chances of getting that
job.
8. The good thing with these
companies is that they do not have
the budget to hire very experienced
programmers. So freshers and new
programmers have a very good
chance of getting a job there.
How to handle it: Just make sure
that have the necessary skills.
Getting a job becomes very easy.
9. These companies usually do not
have a lot of levels. You get the
opportunity to interact with and
work with the bosses and senior
programmers directly.
The advantage of this is that you get
to work with and learn from some of
the best people in the industry.
10. These companies in Indore are more
personal in nature. They are not big
corporates. This is seen in the kind
of offices they have, the kind of HR
Policies they have and so on. It
means that if you have good terms
with the people in these companies,
they will usually go out of the way to
help you.
Bad thing is that if you are not good
with your team mates, you will have
a tough time. So personal skills are
equally important here.
The idea is that these companies are
a great place to start your career.
Spend one or two years with these
companies and you will have
extensive knowledge and experience
to work in some of the best
companies across the globe.
