So the markets are down and are falling lower each hour (even as I write this!), and there is a global meltdown. After Jet Airways firing off staff and then taking them back again, there is a certain uncertainity among everyone. “Is my job safe?” is what everyone is wondering. Bad situation. I am particularly concerned about students who are in the middle of no where with their career decisions. Hospitality, Aviation, BPO, Banking and Finance – what is safe and what is worth it? Confusion Confusion Confusion. And obviously I am concerned about IT. I did some online research and let me share a few articles with you here, that I really liked a lot. The basic message is that the IT indstry is considerably safe- various factors considered, of course. The growth has definitely slowed down, but the hiring will not stop. Here are the links:
Reactions are welcome.

I agree to some extent…because IT companies in India like HCL, Infosys, Satyam etc have long term projects to complete and though there may not be new projects (thus no big time hiring), they will be completing these existing projects which will require people. This is time when, unlike last time, every sector is affected by the meltdown, but where sectors like banking are shaken, IT will continue to be strive.
