Hola amigos(hi friends),

It has been really long that I last posted in this blog. It was partly because of the lack of focus after being stung by the lethargy bug and partly due to the confidentiality agreement that I signed with my company. So from now on I don’t want to speak about any company specific policies or its internal strategies rather I would speak about the IT industry as a whole and the ramifications on this industry due to the global economic slowdown (or the unfortunately famous noun called recession). Ok having established my stance, in the past 6 months from the day I started posting on this blog I received many mails and comments. Most of them with the same query. “I—— from ——college completed my degree on so and so date .I was given my offer letter on so and so date .can you please predict my joining date” I never replied to most of those questions .because I really don’t know the answer. Meanwhile some of them received their joining dates, some were hoping to get them soon and few others have actually lost their hopes and are in utter despair. Amid the growing concerns and apprehensions the satyam fiasco acted as a catalyst to the already distressed student community who were eagerly awaiting for their joining dates in turn creating more panic among them. While most of the top tier IT companies are honoring the on campus offers made to the students, the second rung companies are either deferring the joining dates or terminating the offers they actually made. How does the failure of lehman brothers or merger of bank of America or an acquisition of one company by the other affect an IT industry…??And how do these consequences have an effect on my joining date…??how is my career going to shape up amid such chaos…?? These are some of the question that have been eluding many of the soon to be IT professionals.

Let me answer them for you in my subsequent posts.

Ciya soon.

Adios.
