Since the advent of the 21st century, the major concentration of the youths has been being a part of the growing IT sector industry. May it Web or Mobile Application Development, web designing, or any other job. Streets are filled with Coders, Developers and Administrators, each having a bachelor’s degree in their profile, either looking for a fresh job or trying to settle for another one after getting bored from the old one. This is because of the overcrowded competitive market of IT sector undertakings.
However, in a market where it is difficult to even think about setting up a start-up or finding a good-paying job, no matter how knowledgable you are, the three primary IT Sector Giants have set their foot ahead of everyone. They are Infosys, Wipro and TCS. And since the companies are market leaders in providing the best kind of IT solutions to every client organisation, they bag a good chunk of profit every year, making their shares go higher in prices every year. They are the companies with the biggest number of employment opportunities.
We all have a friend or two, who are part of these mega tech firms. Your friend may or may not be making a handsome amount of salary, but have you ever thought what are the salaries of the heads of these companies.
