MNC's
-
Previously i worked for small firms. There were lot of work and i always engaged and busy. But now i m working for MNC(When i worked for small firms i had a dream to work for MNC). Daily 2-3 issues assigned to me. I complete work on issues in almost 3-4 hours. I am really bored of such work. Its really hard to me to pass this free time. Any suggestions?.... :|

Try to get those -ve ratings of yours here on CP on to the proper side. But why the heck do you have to "pass" free time? Don't you have any interest in increasing your knowledge of things (and thats not just about software) ? Geez. You having so much free time could also mean that you are getting not so great issues to resolve and its worth investigating why.

Speak to your supervisor about getting more challenging work. Let him know you are underutilized.

Thats exactly my suggestion. Use this time to improve your knowledge of things. I am sure, like any of us, you too have quite a list of things that you want to either learn or improve upon. :)

Grow yourself as a professional, Multi Nationals generally work as analogue watch and you are a tiny part of it, you wont get the full exposure of even your project. Learn new technologies, processes, management related things, quality assurance, new buzz of market like cloud computing, drive yourself towards innovative ideas and consulting opportunities, best practises in industry and the most important thing, How to be a recognisable face in crowd (specially if it's a large MNC). Don't wait for things to come, chase them instead.

There might be a lot of things that you and the team there doing manually. Try and write small applications to improve those things. Do that in a technology you want to learn. Just don't do that application, take your time and play with the things available in whatever you use. This will make your and others life easier and will also help you learn new things. Maybe you can try and make it generalized for it may serve as your article right here at CP. Try online riddles like notpron maybe. They might annoy your manager but will be some exercise for brain. You can try Klueless as well. Since you have mentioned that yours is a maintenance work, how about rewriting old things better?

Thanks for suggestion....Its really helpful... :)

Actually client needs the code to be written as per there coding standards. We need not to implement new things.... :(

So their coding standards say no to better code? That is insane. I was maintaining a old VB6/ASP website 1.5 year ago. They had around 50 VB6 dlls. But since I had priviledge to use any MS technology suitable for the website, I got rid off the ones I understood perfectly and replaced them with .Net. It is for the better of everyone isn't it. May be you should speak with your manager if something can be done. :)

See for ex. there is a web page Registration.aspx, i need to add an additional field like City in the page then i have to use the same method used before for country(We speically use Remoting here to retrive,save,update,delete the data from db) This all coding is in .Net 2.0. However we have .Net 3.5 IDE but we not use a single feature of .Net 3.5(WCF,WPF,WWF). :|

How about moving things to WCF? I understand this will be a bigger change and will involve a lot money as well. Although you can change the target framework and at least use LINQ, object initializers, automatic properties etc. These should not affect existing system. Going by your example, you must be doing regression testing after the changes. How about automating that? Something that uses and improves upon SOAP UI or create and similar thing with additional features you might need. :)

I am simply Sr. Software programmer here. The history is our client is from US and they already develop this code for the project(we can say it as a product). We are only giving maintaince to it. This product is not licenced to my company. They sell this product to many clients using there marketing managers. These Marketing managers reports new changes to us and we have to implement it. I dont think so they will like to add new tech feature in there project until client say(Client like there product even though it is dev in .Net 2.0). Thats whole damn thing about maintainance.... X|
