5 Less Known
Facts about IT Professionals in India
We
all have one friend at least who works as an IT professional in any reputed
IT firm. What we usually believe is IT profession is a white collar job with good
pay. But the reality differs from what we actually think. I have got some
friends who are working as IT professionals in Bangalore and after hearing
their story I literally changed my perspective towards these people. We believe
IT professionals are the most reputed profession with less effort and that is
nothing but a big misconception.
Here
are 6 less known facts about IT professionals in India that most of the people
are unaware of :
Health
Related Issues
IT
professionals are constantly working in front of computer screens and sitting
on a chair for longer hours in the same posture. What possibly could have
happened to them? Is that what you are wondering? Well, their eyes start itching,
drying and they end up with baggy eyes and in the severe case they may have to
put on glasses. Not only this, their back is also affected due to the bad
sitting posture for longer hours and feels difficulty to bend their body.
Not Everyone
Receive Earns 6 Figure Salary per Month
IT
professionals seems like they are having lots of fun with their life. They have
all the cool things like bikes, Expensive cameras and they go to trips but this
doesn’t tell us their salary figures.
Very few lucky people receive the 6 figure salary whereas rest of the
employees stuck at the same position with the same amount of salary. And yes,
they have to make budget to manage their monthly expenses and future savings.
Discrimination
On The Basis Of Region and Language
Well,
this thing really surprised me. If you and your boss are from the same place
and speak the same tongue, you are likely to receive special favor from your
boss , may be in terms of salary hike or promotion. But what about the rest who
have been doing the same amount of work and even more than the guy with same
place your boss belongs to? Unfortunately they don’t have such luck which is
more like injustice done to these people. IT professionals have to suffer a lot and this
situation is enough to understand their pain.
Being a Good
Coder Is Not Enough
In other professions, once you’re done with your assignment you
are given another assignment but in IT profession, things are quite different.
IT is all about coding and even if you are good at coding, coding sucks. And
the reason is no matter how nicely you code, it will be sent back for reviews and
in case you are handling codes to the client before deadline, they change their
coding requirements ...annoying isn’t it?
And then again you have to start coding from the beginning and
the process keeps on repeating.
Hectic
Working Hours
Suppose you have an 8 hour shift and you are given extra work at the 8th
hour which will take extra 2-3 hours to finish, how would you feel then?
You are certainly going to start mad at your boss and feel sorry about
your job. Unfortunately, IT professionals have to face these kinds of tortures every
day. And the situation gets worst when
you are allotted the night shift to work with US clients that clearly indicates
that you have to kill your sleeping hours to keep your job going.
