        Pros

        Career Growth Opportunities: IT companies often provide ample opportunities for career advancement. You can climb the career ladder relatively quickly through promotions and skill development. Learning Opportunities: The IT industry is constantly evolving, which means you'll have the chance to learn new technologies and skills regularly. This can be intellectually stimulating and keep your job interesting. Competitive Salaries: Many IT companies offer competitive salaries, especially for roles that require specialized skills and experience. Job Security: The demand for IT professionals remains high, and this industry tends to be more resilient during economic downturns, providing a degree of job security.

        Cons

        Long Hours: IT projects often come with tight deadlines, which can lead to long working hours and high levels of stress. Work-Life Balance: Despite the potential for flexible arrangements, some IT professionals may struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance, especially during peak project times. High Expectations: There can be a lot of pressure to perform and meet client or management expectations, which can be stressful. Constant Learning: While learning new technologies can be a pro, it can also be a con for some who may feel overwhelmed by the need to continuously update their skills.

        No timeline. You can put resignation the next day itself. Is there any implications - well no when it comes to system, yes when it comes to your working relationship with the team. But it won't impact your experience letter and all.
