Peeking into the chaos
Prelude: The monkey
Like all introductions, let me start this one with a (very) brief talk on myself. I'm Amit and right now I'm doing my M.Tech in VLSI and Embedded systems at Bangalore, India. My specialization in B.E was electronics and communication. I have a wide variance in interests, from ant farms to cooking, lazy sleeping to TKD, operating systems to fiddling around with electronic circuits, MBTI and a bunch of other things.
Now for the little adventure that brought me ... here!
Act I : The start
It all began with my realization of the ignorance I had about the state of industries in my field of study. Apart from what everyone tells me, I hadn't done much exploration on my own... as for the trigger, I think I'll skip that part. So, as a part of my searching I approach guru Google and realized that many of the views I had on the IT companies here were shared by many.
The trouble is that you don't know what kind of work you'd be given after joining a corporation, the job you'd be going would have very little relation to anything you'd done/studied/banged-you-head-to-the-book for and this is accepted as a norm by everyone I know. Most of these companies seem to hire really good people to do really monotonic work.... that was mostly about the IT companies that I certainly don't want to be a part of.
Act II : The focus
My interest has always been to fiddle/break/repair/reconstruct things (started all the way back when I only had... toys XD), that was the whole reason I chose this field BUT I'm ignorant in what exactly the companies of this field do and expect from a hire. Where I must focus my energies at? in addition to the academics, taking time into consideration of course.
So, long story short, I think this place is my first step into enlightening myself of ... the ways of those in my field. Hopefully I'd would help me make an informed decision on current study and future jobs, one where I can apply myself and be happy.
