I don't have experience with outsourcing companies in Israel, however, it is how I started working in hi-tech in The States. I started working full time in 1990, when lots of companies were closing their doors in Silicon Valley due to military budget cuts. With no way of entering a stable large company, I turned to contracting work through a small outsourcing company.
It was very good for me, as their "product" they aggressively looked for a good match between my professional knowledge and the needs of the various new startups in the valley. I was always accepted as a full participant of the teams I worked with, and because of the work of the outsourcing company, when one contracted ended (not all startups are successful), I already had another one lined up. I never had a lag time between contracts where I had to look for interviews and collect unemployment payments. The outsourcing company also provided for my benefits that the startups I was working in could not provide for their own full time employees. After two years of contracts, and at the end of the one I was in, I got a full time offer in a startup that finally got past their first product release, and was established enough to start growing. So working at an outsourcing company was very good for me, got me through the pains of a recession and prepared me for finally getting a full time offer. -David _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list Perl@perl.org.il http://perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
