BPOs Pave Way For High End Jobs


The general misconception prevailing about BPOs is that they are meant to be places of fun, party and enjoyment! However, it’s high time to change one’s idea about the BPO industry, which has earned the tag of ‘easy money for fresh graduates’. The technical support services are now emerging as long-term lucrative career options. India is no longer considered to be a BPO hub for back office operations, which provide entry-level, low-end jobs to fresh graduates.

Gradually, more and more firms are setting up high-end technical back office support operations in India to serve their global customers. Most of these companies are either into high-end network engineering/management support of hardcore software/hardware development. In the current scenario, international firms have aggressively recruited lots of engineering graduates, telecom professionals and software developers. So it is indeed a wrong notion that BPOs cater to low-end entry-level jobs.
