Outsourcing personnel is the company’s main business. Most hires are placed at client sites, so if you dare to name your price, ask for as much as you can. Some recruiters face considerable performance pressure, or the company may be in a hurry to recruit staff for a major client, giving you a chance to secure a salary above your expectations.
If you are assigned to work on-site at a certain online bookstore in Taiwan, you are on your own.
Although the client will not ask you to work overtime, project management is a complete mess—everything is urgent and rushed.
Engineers and PMs have disputes from time to time.
The company’s designated contact person basically abandons you and normally cannot be bothered to pay any attention to you; it is practically a borderland.
When disputes with the client arise, the designated contact person basically takes the client’s side.
They will not listen to your explanation at all.
Getting familiar with your colleagues will not help; you are better off getting familiar with the client’s employees.
