Every software guys story after three years.
- They end up getting stuck in the never ending cycle of learning new software tools and work for the same company expecting an on-site opportunity which hardly knocks the door. The moment you become a pro in a tool, they chuck it and make you learn a new one.:P
- They get pissed off with all those coding and late night shifts and decide to leave the job in search of passion and start traveling. Some return, some get enlightened.
- They hope their life will get better when they pile on years of experience, but later realise that with great money comes great working hours, they leave the job when shit hits the roof.
- They write government exams and start clearing the easy ones first. That is, they become bank officers. Courtesy- Ibps, sbi. Later they prepare for SSC and UPSC. Some regret leaving the comfortable with culture of IT, others just go for the government job.
- They decide to jump companies because they get a good raise in their pay when they do so, only to find out they'll be doing the same thing there and the cycle never ends. Typical software life.
- Some get on-site opportunities and become stars in the same organisation and work their ass in another country. No they're not there on a vacation.
- Some decide to get back to their core field and prepare for Gate exam, only to realise their IT life has made them lose touch of their engineering subjects. It's hard.
- Later, they decide that doing an MBA is the best option available and prepare for CAT. They clear it, take a huge bank loan , complete their MBA and get placed in a multinational investment banking or finance corporation. They realise they don't belong there, but it's too late coz your bank loan ain't gonna vanish just like that.
- When every option is explored and they've got an intention to go abroad, they go for GRE. Time to become a green card holder.
- Some people discover their love for programming, learn a lot, improvise and rise up the corporate ladder like a boss, while the others are just busy whining about how IT life sucks.
- When all these things are happening, they turn 25, get married, now they can't quit their job and go to the Himalayas and thus life goes on.
