Hi,
since we're on the topic of consultancy, I wud like to ask ppl if they have heard of this company called Inforte Ltd. (
www.inforte.com) Its a primarily US-based customer strategy and solutions consultancy firm. They have recently set up an office in India. I have landed a job there through campus placement. The job profile is that of "consultant". The pay is quite good (take home of around 26-27 K p.m starting) These guys will be recruiting from IITB, IITD and IITK alone.
But the thing is that inspite of attending their PPT and going through their site, Im yet to figure out what this company actually does. The kind of ambiguous words they use ("custom and packaged solutions","systems implementation projects, including configuration, prototyping, system testing and rollout support") confuse me to no end. They have a long list of clients and claim that they help the clients develop "strategy". These guys are going to train us in some CRM package called Siebel. Is it some different version of a coding job ? Or will there be more to it than coding ?
I have already asked some ppl about this, but if someone here is into consultancy, I would appreciate if that person could help me out with what this kind of job would basically involve. Im still not able to decide whether to go for this job or not (despite the pay) and about the future prospects of this kind of job. If someone knows something, pls do help.
thanks
the freak
