Poor Condition of Software Professionals

Atlast, I got time for my first blog this year. Thanks for the e-mail I sent by Hardik that made me post this blog.

'Techies' - This is the term generally referred to the so called Software Professional. Almost every Engineering Student dreams to become a Software Professional. Even I was trying to join a Computer Science Engineering Course in B.E. but couldn't get even a Payment seat.

After finishing Engineering, I went to the Silicon Valley Bangalore to get a job in Software.
The main reasons for aiming a Software job even by a Mechanical Student are:

1. The hanndsome package which our Fathers are not able to get in their whole Career.

2. Cool work Environmet - in front of a System which brings the Whole Wide World at just a click.

3. Opportunities to go abroad and to earn in Dollars in a very short span.


These all reasons made the Softies, the most sought after guys. From Banks to Brokers, they were offered lot of Offers. The cost of Living went high. The culture of Multiplexes, Shopping Malls, Pubs, et al was introduced. Yougsters started wearing branded garments.

Brides started demanding for Grooms from a Software Concern.
Companies like Infosys, TCS, CTS, Wipro, et al became so common among people who have never operated a PC. A bride's father was ready to give more 'dowry' to a guy with a CTS tag. This made the non- Techie guys jealous of techies.

But after the Economic Crisis in the US, Obama stopped Outsourcing. People are being laid off from their jobs. Many organisations have announced that there will be no Salary Increment for this Financial Year. Even brides started giving Matrimonial ads like this...






So pity of you Techies...
