While Bangalore has been hailed as the Silicon Valley of India for years, today IT jobs are a prominent career choice in many different cities across the country. Hyderabad, Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Pune, Chennai, Mumbai and Kochi are all hotspots for IT jobs now, with the establishment of many new IT parks and technology hubs in these cities. Almost all of the top IT companies have at least one branch office in most of these cities, giving rise to opportunities in the field. This, and the presence of international offices – whether home offices or branches – offer you the possibilities of working across cities within the country as well as outside of it.
In fact, some international employers host induction ceremonies, training and other events at their home offices, allowing employees to enjoy the coveted opportunity to travel overseas.
Since IT is not limited to just software development and information systems, the scope of employment is not limited either. While most IT firms offer services in business process outsourcing (BPO), knowledge process outsourcing (KPO), IT jobs are also found in banks, hospitals, educational institutes, libraries, hotels, airports, train stations and so on.
