It is known that, while pitching for projects IT companies boast their employee profiles to garner highest billing rates. As multiple companies pitch for same project, from the client’s end it is imperative to know differentiating factors among employee demographics.

Data were collected by administering 1500 questionnaires to sample respondents and analyzed using Pearson’s Chi-Square test. Results of study indicate that there are differences among the companies.
