Life Just Sucks!!
-
I have over 4 of experience in IT industry. I love programming, have excellent communication skills. I was working for a very big organization but there it was more politics and less challenging job. I thought of changing job to a smaller startup company. Here I have respect, people appreciate my work and I have challenging role. But, I want to continue higher studies. I expected it to be 9-5 or max 9-7 job so that I can take out time on weekends for my higher studies. But here my manager wants me available 24x7 and they expect me to work on weekends also. And all they care about is work, people dont talk much, manager doesnt care about you, except that you should be in office morning 9 and shouldn't leave before 7 even if you dont have work... I feel like I am trapped :sigh: Now I am applying for last 2 weeks for various companies and there is no call for interviews :((... Life just sucks...Not sure why I am sharing this...just wanted to blow it out... ARGHHH,..............

That's what the Lounge is here for - blowing off steam a bit.

I'm not sure what life is like where you are at the moment, but a lot of companies are experiencing a bit of belt-tightening because of the threat of recession. It could be time to keep your head down and try to weather the storm with a steady job.

The problem with jumping to smaller companies is that a lot of smaller companies go bust. In times of recession, they tend to go quicker because they don't have the financial backup. Think about it - that's all I will say.

yup..you are right. The company I am into is small but safe, its a product development and clients cant go away. But ofcourse i will think again if joining any other small company, esp in time like this.

A smaller company is less likely to survive and more likely to run in crisis mode. What did you expect ?

Now I am applying for last 2 weeks for various companies and there is no call for interviews During the last computer recession six years ago, I went eight months without an interview. I would go for months without even a callback to tell me to drop dead. Granted, I'm fairly specialized, but my friends weren't having any better luck either.
