IT jobs - meh! they steal my sleep
Since the'giver' of work is sitting in some part of the world , the 'doer' is in another part of the world, every body have their own issues and problems.
My issue being - I somehow feel I am only a robot who is doing what soemone else wants me to.. I would be happy , if someone gives me work and say' do it your way ', but I feel in many IT companies, its more like -' Do it this way, else the customer wont be ahppy'.
Though the saying goes, custoemr is the king, I dont find sense in it. I feel the doer is the king, Because if there is no doer, to whom will the giver give??? Though we are being paid in dollars, the work what gets outsourced most of the times, is either tersting, maintainance (odd hor jobs) or some development ( I dotn think its froms cratch level though). Not the real core work.
and Indian IT companies are really happy to be "service-based' and keep on providing services to others.
I had a little arguement with my collegues here and they had different views ; they said INDIAN IT has given many poorer /middle calss families a chance to grow financially (unlike entreprenuers) and have stabilised many lives.
I dont know if I need to be having co-operate world morales and think - "wow! i am a part of IT, which uplifted many poor" or have personal morale and think- " this is not for me".
