Some say - '
Its the crisis'..some say - 'Bad Economy'..and some '
Downward trend'...guess what this is all about?..Yes, the current situation of US companies..The Finance, IT, Automotive, and slowly the retail sectors are being hit..And we are heavily knit to their economy...bound so tight that all that happens there, echoes here too!..I am slowly coming across a few people, unemployed, patiently waiting to get employed in the company that hires their skills, and also people yet to gather skills, such as college-freshers..This is nowhere catagory based - Freshers, Associates, Senior Associates, Managers, Subject Matter Experts - the problems persists for people of all spheres..Whatever be it, life goes on..With no major projects coming up for companies here, with very few global clients,with lessening turnovers,the situation worsens for those hiring and for those being hired!
Bankrupcies, losing jobs, are some of the instances of the downward trend we can observe.. We all know the fate
Lehman Brothers Inc and
Merryll Lynch. Citibank and
GoldMan Sachs have also reported huge losses. But at one point in time, my own friends had had the craze for grabbing offer letters from the very same companies for the enormous pay packages! There has been a steep transition now..I might as well call it 'The falling Gaussian Curve'..My question is- Is there any alternative to the heavy dependency on economies?..Why are we looking for greener grass on the other side of the fence when our side is as much green? I, pretty well, fall under this catagory too..Hmmm..Enough of theories and current affairs..!
Unsteady environment prevailing, job-security being indefinite, and what not!..Its just a one and a half years of IT journey and I am coming across such sorts of strange and unforseen happenings.. Yes, the transition is never simple. Sometimes, I think of shifting to jobs that are purely of Indian origin and relatively secure; And to live securely upto heart's content with lesser troughs, ; And to strip off the luxury of being in an air-conditioned room!
To do what you get to do' is way different from 'To do what you want to do'!..And I am still asking myself what I want to do but have found no concrete plan!..Self-realization is the most difficult task of all..Ask Heisenberg, who has his uncertainity principle!. I bet he would be indefinitely uncertain about it as much as he is about his wave
