This entire article, as the author himself has pointed out, is very negative.
First of all, Software development is NOT repetitive OR clerical. I have been in this industry for 8 years and in 4 different companies. I know.
Secondly, it is implicitly assumed that since they are hiring like crazy today, they will layoff in the same way. Not necessarily. And even if they do, we will use our own brains and build products that will beat the top s/w products of today. Be it Oracle database or Windows OS.
The boom today is because of outsourcing to India. If that stops, there is always product development. Nobody can beat innovation and creativity.
Don't under estimate the power of intelligence.
The laidoff s/w engineer of today might become the product developer of tomorrow. |

Iam presently learning java/j2EE and want to enter the industry. But my friends say that presently .net has snatched away all the jobs of java. Also that present java jobs are all of maintainence type and no further devt kind of jobs.
Kindly clarify |

This is exactly why smaller companies [URL=http://www.connectivasystems.com]like us[/URL] cannot get good graduates. We do some cutting work on Telecom Billing and EAI, and yet, we difficulties attracting the right talent. Freshers are more inclined to join to these big shops, simply because of peer and family pressure.
I took a decision early on in my career, to join a 10 man start up outfit. I had just 6 months of experience back then.
Four years later, this [URL=http://www.connectivasystems.com]company[/URL] has gone on to become a 60 strong outfit, and will add another at least 50 people by the year end. We are today competing and winning against likes of Subex Systems and Connexion. It feels proud to be a part of this success.
It takes guts to decline offers from big shops, but unfortunately most graduates, don't seem to have any of it.

I feel recuitement Drive in IT industry is more genuine and involved much more intelligent thinking on the part of hired resource.
It is also result of paradigm shift towards the offshore develoment process. Initially, Software development companoies were sceptical towards this model. But this has been widely accespted as one of the tested and proven methodologies across the globe. Thus there are more jobs to do now, hence we need more ppl to work on the same.
I cant see any point on how TCS / Infy / Wipro will hire a post graduate in Computer application to perform a mundane and routine tasks. They can get a graduate in 1/10th of salary. :) |

Dear Mr.Harshad!
ur article on this massive recruit by the indian IT companies is really thought-provoking. the indian IT trend now provides the job opportunities for many of the youngsters. but in the long run, their future is unsafe, i agree this. but the solution is not stopping this massive recruitements. the real solution should start from the people- they should understand the burden of being an IT professional and they should also have atleast a little thought of the other opportunities outside IT. this can even start right from the time when a guy chooses his graduation programme. right??? |

hey the article just really hits on my question too!
i m a fresher jus waiting for 8th sem result BE(INFT). with my 55% agg. Well seeing all my friends being placed the way stated is asking me also to join the party.
but for how long will this take is also a question,
plz guide me as to what points i should consider before picking up a job.. tech-wise, size of company, a possible stand for me in company after a few yrs....
as to most of guidence i get is u can try for x company take it if u get there. no other orientation or vision is what inspires me to do that. i think that would mean simply following crowd.
n wat all do i need to build upon as a software engineer? a wholesome exp in any one field aka language(technology) or what n how ?
please sent any suggestions or a piece of advice at schands@rediffmail.com,chand_wins@yahoo.co.in

thankyou waiting for a direction

Its actually pathetic to see that people in India take the job of IT/SW to be clerical. Maybe the person who wrote that comment has himself only used MS-Word and Copy-Paste functions, and can thus comment on IT jobs being clerical.
IT jobs demand good coding skills, and not only Copying and Pasting. Its true that people from all backgrounds are recruited in the IT industry, but ultimately what matters is the result. If the end product is good and fresh grads are making money, who the hell is complaining? |
