2023 has begun, and many IT professionals wonder about the future of remote IT work. Java, .Net, Python, Salesforce, AWS, Azure, DevOps, Angular, and UI technologies are in huge demand for remote IT jobs.
IT consulting billing rates in are between $80 to $100 per hour for these technologies, depending on work experience. A remote IT consultant can earn around half a million dollars a year doing two remote projects by utilizing their extra time in the evenings and weekends.
Many end clients who have implemented hybrid work plans have slowly abandoned them. Some end clients are transitioning from a two-day weekly hybrid on-site to a monthly once on-site work plan. Some end clients are even giving the perk of working overseas for 60 days a year remotely.
The job market and economy are robust despite many doomsday predictions. Although there have been layoffs in west coast product companies, those laid-off employees have found employment easily. Companies face a lot of competition in hiring and retaining IT consultants.
It is better to quit an old-fashioned end client or full-time employer who believes that the centuries old 8-5 cubicle worker model is still the correct model for the 21st century. Unfortunately, most Indian implementation partners have started enforcing the on-site hybrid model even when their end clients do not require it.
IT consultants can always negotiate the terms of the contract to change from hybrid work to fully remote work after the end client interview is over before signing the contract. Existing full-time employees and onsite consultants can also negotiate from being a hybrid worker to a fully remote worker after getting a second remote IT consulting project offer in hand.
The January visa bulletin has been released. Unfortunately, Eb2 India dates are stuck in the previous decade of 2012. Therefore, it is wise to use a combination of existing house equity and income from a second IT consulting project to obtain a green card immediately through the EB5 program.
