A sincere advice for people in the age group bracket 22-26 years (max)

Get out of these shit IT corporate world.

Start preparing for SSC CGL(mainly target this exam). There are a hell lot of opportunities if you clear this exam and these jobs provides a lot of job respect in the society.
Even if the salary is 60-70k (starting salary) but the job security and the facilities are simply incomparable with the IT jobs.

Don't waste your time & energy in the ruthless labor market just for money.

Why can't he say?. You are happy and he is not. He is just saying his opinion. Everyone has their own experience and all are equally right.

My 2 paisa, spent 13+ years in IT industry and currently in same age group for which author is worried (35+)

I think people who has joined IT industry after 2008-09 has not seen any real recession, and current situation is not of recession but companies try to take the cost measure for preparation of recession in case it comes.

IT industry of India is very good, we do have many options jobs and many companies which can offer good money at various experiences level. I have seen many average people in terms of coding or technical skill survive and thrive in Indian IT industry, people do have many options of becoming business analysts, product management roles, pre sales roles, licensing roles, quality engineering role, development and engineering roles, devops roles, managerial roles, sales roles, support roles, administrative roles, learning and training roles, system administrator roles, procurement roles, architectural positions role, network Specialist, financial and fintech SME roles, functional specialties roles and many others. Believe me guys no other industry pay 10-30 lakh money to 4-5 years of experience people unless until you are some rankers in those fields.

Many IT people doing their jobs from comfort of their home since covid times and many working in hybrid mode. Recently when I met few relatives at weddings, majority of them are from Non-IT backgrounds and have business backgrounds, they all were like ohhhh you are still working from home. For them it’s never going to possible. Believe me guys most of industry don’t have wfh or hybrid mode jobs.

Now coming to fear of losing job, do I have that fear after 13+ year of experience?? Yes I do.

Do I have confidence that if I will loss the job will I be able to get another job ? Yes 💯 %

Do I have skill which will allow me to continue with higher pay ?? Yes as of now.

If I am making higher pay, what I need to do to justify that pay ? Take more responsibility, know how to make things at scale, know the best practices of field, security fundamentals, performance critical problems and their solutions, latest technical paradigms and architectural patterns, agile practices, be humble and proactive, know how to communicate the right way which convey the message, learn to say NO when plate full with work without being rude, disrespectful and arrogant, learn to negotiate well when in good position of negotiation.

When one is 10-15+ years of experience they have learnt so many things at various stage, know how to sale those learning and lessons along with skills. Sometimes its very easy or simpler things but if we don’t know how to sale it to top people that I have these critical skills and and it will be useful to your organisation/project than its of no use.

Keep technical fundamental clear, in IT same old solutions get repackaged in new way and get sold as new thing. Few years back web pages used to serve from server side(php, jsp, asp. net), and then it got changed to SPA JS framework and now they are coming with SPA(react) + Server side rendering (next.js). Server less solutions being sold which needs real servers, desktop applications replaced with mobile applications, Monoliths get divided into microservices and server divided into docker and K8. Tomorrow something new will come which will repackaged or rebranded into something else to tackle some new problem. But fundamental remains the same.

Indian IT industry is $100 billion+ industry and majority of work comes from developed countries and big pie of work is done by IT companies. For normal people like us we don’t need those big clients, but there are so many small clients which need technical expertise, try to get 1-2 good clients and work for them on part time basis, even if you need to start from 10-15 dollar per hour do it, once you gain confident and have good numbers of client portfolios one can easily reach 30-60 dollar per hour rate along with existing job. This way one will become independent of jobs and can easily rely on multiple client for work. Some of my friends easily making 30-55 lakh in freelance work and they have left their main job and started doing this full time after sometime. When one have 4-5 good clients and they know they are not dependent on main job. I know people who are doing main job and some part time freelance work in their free time and making good money. Getting initial freelance work is not easy but once they get set it change the whole path. Try to be on those freelance or remote work platforms.

Finally, be confident, learn new skills and know how to sale the our learning, generate 2nd stream of income, save and invest well (our real income is Pay in hand - all expenses), learn how to say NO when loaded with more work, network well with various people, teach your juniors without bring jerk and behave well with others, sometimes people remember you for your good behaviour.

Best wishes.
