29th-Apr-2006 05:11 pm - IT Survivors - Staying Alive In A Software Job
Got this article by mail from my friend

Before I started working for myself, I spent some years in some of the top IT companies in India and still have many friends working in various software companies . I wrote a blog about the same time last year about how Indian companies are recruiting like there's no tomorrow and the possible consequences................

Consequences:
· A majority of IT people suffer from health problems.As most of the IT workforce is still very young, the problem isn't very obvious today but it will hit with unbearable ferocity when these youngsters get to their 40s.
.....................

Exhaustion = Zero Innovation  

· How many Indians in India are thought leaders in their software segment? - Very few  
· How much software innovation happens in India? - Minimal
· Considering that thousands of Indians in India use Open Source software, how many actually contribute? - Very few  
..................

Solutions

1) Never complement someone for staying till midnight or working 6 days a week.
