There have been multiple cases of arranging hookers for clients. TCS and CTS top the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 It is better to be in Tech support roles as we get more experienced. There is always the next big thing that is innovated and learning is hard to keep up with innovation. Technology gets outdated, started from 2G, 3G, 4G and now to switch to 5G, who is going to work on previous technologies which operators still manage, mantain and generate revenue. We are always looking at the next big thing to work on, but not all get to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubrickian Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) It remains to be seen how far automation is going to eat up the service oriented IT jobs like web development, mobile app development, testing etc which has been employing lakhs of engineering graduates in the coming years. If one window closes, another opens up. Employees should consistently update their skills and should be willing to go into different domain if needed. AI, Robotics, Internet of Things, Security, Cloud Computing could open up big opportunities. Edited May 25, 2017 by kubrickian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubrickian Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Indians should create the companies which can generate jobs here with the latest technologies available which can employ Indians rather than become a destination of outsourcing jobs for MNCs in other countries and play catch up and remain at the mercy of other countries policies. This is how Europe and US marched far ahead of the rest of the world after the Industrial Revolution(there were 3 of them in the past actually and the next is the 4th one). They had the ability to create products in large scale and quality using technology and sold them all over the world and became rich economies. But do we actually have that capability ? I dont think so because we are far behind in Research because of the lack of quality universities. Edited May 25, 2017 by kubrickian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The future of IT is in web design, app design and web security. We need to move up the value chain , but that again means lesser jobs created . We did a lot of junk work in past , but the bottom line is it employed millions of people . R&D irrespective of any industry more than 5% of the workforce .

I have had exposure to cloud for a few years now , migrating , building on Aws / Azure etc . Once you are on cloud you have at best 1-2 years of good work , again mostly all automation , once thats done you barely need 1/10th of the resources to manage it you did in a legacy setup . The point is you simply dont need that many people anymore . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys will not go on cloud anytime soon and all these banks have some critical application which no one wants to touch . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
