Most exciting things @ IT Companies!!

  • Being trained in 4 different technologies back to back and then getting a project which uses a 5th technology! (flexiblityyyyy!)
  • Changing client and project 5 times in 1 month! (wow..! wow..!!)
  • Working 15-18hours a day including weekends and finally getting the comment “You should work more” from managers!
  • Topping in .net/java trainings and end up working in infrastructure management, handling ‘Desktop Shift Requests’ and ‘Software Installation Requests’ for people from same batch!!
  • Getting calls from offshore folks @ midnight when @onsite. (Great na! Ur 3 year old kids get to grow up learning business issues!)
  • Working in production support for applications developed by someone else and without any documentation!
  • Being loyal to the company by sticking on for 5 years and later realize that the guy who jumped to another firm and now joined back the original company is getting double the salary!!
  • You get to tell “WHAT THE *******” after seeing payslips of your junior people!
  • Reading in news that your company has come on top in some ‘best companies to work for’ list when you have never seen any happy employee!.
  • Your manager getting the credit for all the good ideas you suggested and when any of them fails, you alone taking the blame!
