A strange shift in IT | Why the industry is changing faster than anyone expected?
A Think School case study on why India's large IT services companies are laying off junior staff while paying far more for a small group of senior engineers. The narrator explains how staff augmentation makes the industry money, uses the history of a failed FBI software project and a data-analysis company to explain the shift, and ends with a lesson about earning with your mind rather than your time. Sponsor: FDE Academy, named at the end of the video. PARTIAL COVERAGE: this note covers the opening, how the IT staffing model works, the FBI example, and the closing lesson, and does not cover every part of the roughly 15 minute video. Hiring, salary and layoff figures are the narrator's own and are not independently checked. The narrator's opinions on AI and jobs are his own. This is a summary, not career or financial advice.
