Hey folks, one more resource to read about how HR makes tough decisions about rightsizing and how it could possibly impact people with more work experience: www.linkedin.com/pulse/comp-108-when-high-compensation-becomes-damocles-aravindakshan I wrote this to answer some of the questions I see here. Check up the link and feel free to connect with me on Linkedin and ask me followup questions.
This is in India not in the US & other developed countries. You can work as a developer for up to 70 years w/o any issues while in India, no one is considering you or looking at you as SE in India if you have more than 5 or 10 years exp.
Point well taken; there are some people in the 50s and 60s in software roles in the US. The reason is that there are too many jobs and too few STEM graduates. There is always a demand if they keep enhancing their skills. The demand-supply situation is the exact reverse in India.

Having 25+ years experience in the IT industry and still working, I feel that many things mentioned in this video seems to have a very narrow view. It is true that you need to constantly be in learning mode, but that's true in any professional career. Main questions to ask ourselves is whether we are adding value to our organisation and are flexible & resilient during change. As long as one is able to do that, I strongly believe that they'll survive and grow in the IT industry.
In today's era in every field one needs to improve their knowledge base.Same is applicable in IT field as well.Even our cooks and maids are required to learn new things to suit changing needs Gone are the days when one ppl used to stick to one company/job and retire at 60
@@monishkumar.b0761 you can but path is difficult. You have to pick up coding skills and join websites like leetcode and hacker rank. Also work on open source projects. It will take years so be patient.
Today There was a news that Infosys finally collaborated with Microsoft to introduce generative AI based platforms in workplace....Open Ai also has introduced an enterprise version of GPT 4+ model especially for corporate needs and in this version no corporate personal data will be trained. So are we going to see Automation in low and mid level software engineering role.I know managerial positions right now cannot be replaced very soon. It will take a decade probably to reach that level to mimic such complex roles , for which Ai models has to be trained with various multidimensional complex structured data. But according to David Saphiro (who is an AI enthusiast and an expert in the field of Ai ) said that by 2030-32 , 70% bluecollar are anyhow going to be automated ....and That UBI will ultimately get rolled out. Certainly computer revolution replaced many jobs since 1990s , and created new jobs but generative Ai revolution is completely different as it aims complete or maximum reduction of human intervention in white collar jobs.
We think AI is just a lot of hype and the jobs which will be impacted are where employees do mindless copy paste of code from Google search. Microsoft foundation pays hundreds of millions of dollars to reporters, there is probably a reason why.
And that AI writes half baked code which needs to be refactored by a human again , lots of hype use it to reduce work load on monontonous activity and skelton building not for core logic building and data strucrtures , it sucks , i have used it and it stillneeds a human to bring output as needed
naah... only the so called 'influencers' who doesnt have a proper background in software industry will come up with such exaggerated claims. Do you think 'development' is the stage that requires the most effort? writing code is easy but solving bugs is not. So if you allow an AI to write code, who is gonna debug the issues? None of the DL models today can perform reasoning at a reasonable level and without reasoning, you cant automate debugging.
I'm going into depression thinking what next..i have 15 yrs of experience in IT recruitment from 1 year I am on break ..now I want to do something peaceful to earn money ...I'm feeling STUCK
Sir , as an hr how would you look at a student who tried for civil services for 2 years after btech but now want to enter the tech world ? Will it impact my it career a lot in the long run?
If you are excellent in coding, you will find a job quickly. It does not matter if you had gap years, what matters is your skills. Your compensation may be lower in the first 1 or 2 years, but you can recover that quickly by learning in the job and getting work experience.
Sir what is your opinion about people who switch career from Core engineering to IT? Since they join here by doing some sort of bootcamp and then they enahnce skills. Do they miss some core subjects which will help when there is pardigm shift in the technology, where upskilling will be difficul wihtou strong basics?
Hi Murali, boot camps are good for beginners. If one is switching careers because of compensation reasons, the move is doomed to failure. On the other hand, if the move is because the person is super passionate about the new space, then it will work eventually. There is a lot of unlearning and learning when the switch happens. One has to be good in the subject, and that learning can take 3-5 years at a minimum. Do do well in tech, engineers should respect you, and that will happen only when you know more than them.
Dhana, you must appear for the UPSC exams and get a high rank to become an IAS officer. Only they become collectors. There is also a state selection process in which I am not an expert. Your years of work experience have no connection to whether you will get through UPSC.
I recommend you begin right from the first month of getting a salary. Even age 30 is a bit late. Considering that most people will be retiring not at 58 but maybe in 70s or 80s (because of extended life spans), even little sums early in life can be a big deal. Read about SIPs and also the book called 100 year life by London Business School.
@@Careerbolt Thank you so much Vinod ji that was really informative and helpful 😊I would like to have conversation with you is it possible to consult you anyway please confirm 🙏
@@Careerbolt sir, how do you classify companies like consultancy, product based, product based services, what are their pros and cons if we decide to join.
Hi Nitish, send us more detailed questions for a video. This video could be of help as it is dedicated to you: ruclips.net/video/ghVgjIEA3xk/видео.html
Bangalore is the clearly the best place to be in India as compensation is the highest and there are innumerable companies vying for tech talent. At the same time, if you want to save money, you need to look at the cost of living. To save money or buy property, Hyderabad or Chennai are really good options. So choice depends on what you want to optimize.
It doesn't matter when you graduated. Ask yourself if you have any skills which the industry needs. Even if it is data entry, you will find a job somewhere, though with low compensation. If you want high compensation, you have to start from scratch and learn something from an online or regular course.
Asking for promotions, getting continuous feedback, and looking for external opportunities should all happen together. You need to know your market value.
You absolutely can, but you will need to put in lots of hard work. I recommend that you take 6 months to a year off to brush up your skills. Claim that you were working on a startup during that time. Companies don't mind people working on startups during gap years. There are lots of online resources to guide on the path.
this is only in india. I have worked in internation teams and one of the companies i was the youngest being 30. I have worked with developers age 40, 50 35 and so on.
That is the essence of the video. If you can keep learning skills, you will continue to have a job in CS. At the same time, be aware that as compensation increases and one doesn't add value, one can be out of a job quick. Doesn't matter US or India.
@@pranavpl8161 ruclips.net/video/lbbDvAb5EBA/видео.htmlsi=NizFxKF2zaxCuzP4 Also there is another video on cybersecurity related that you have never heard.....Am sure you will be surprised
Great places to work is anonther fake thing , our company has been rated nunber 1 in some cateogry in some year to be amigious , but i know the reality acorss productes teams etc . it is all person to person , team to team . etc
End of the day, manager is the most important. It is very difficult to know the team or manager in advance of working there. Yes GWTP and other ratings are all imperfect indicators and teams can vary a lot.
It depends on which field you are in. In Tech companies, focus on strategy as a specialization. For support roles like Finance or HR, you should have that specialization during MBA. For marketing roles, do a mktg specialization.
@@siddhartharora5675 iimb offers a pgsem program. I think IIM Lucknow also does. Shoot for a specialization in software management. Not many universities offer this though.
Pankaj, I need more information. Do you want to be a people manager or a technical career path? Get me on WhatsApp or LinkedIn if you want to connect 1:1. Depending on your goals, an MS, MBA, or PhD may make sense for you.
Fantastic opportunities in backend development. Java is most popular backend language. Focus om whether you want to be front end, back end or full stack and become excellent in that space.
Hi Akash, the message is more that if one doesn't pick up new skills, it is easy for early in career folks to replace you. This is because they demand far less compensation. If one upskills regularly, they wouldn't face issues.
Thanks. It is a constant tussle to get a quick and fast video vs a quality video which needs a lot of post edits. We are looking for ways to make the video experience better!!
