mostlt its maintenance work, but who bothers if you can earn cool money.somebody joining Infy in 97 would have gotten AT LEAST 1 cror in form of ESOPS. Not bad....

Being a network engineer means being at lower end of IT (lower then App Dev but better then IT Infrastructure). Or did you mean to say Network Programmer or Netwrok Application developer?

Security is different ball game and gets paid well too. But you hit the ceiling at mid-career. Since with security, you are always a "cost" to company. For geed security jobs, start preparing for GRE.. and then netwrok while you are in US.

At this point of time, this does not seem to be relavent. Anyone who is educated enough can get a job easily. From the IT point of view pyramid of jobs look like:

1. Technology (Best paid, least in numbers, maximum risk)
2. Product Dev
3. Application Development and consulting
4. Application maintenance
5. IT Infrastructure
6. ITES - or IT related BPO (least paid, largest in numbers, least risk)

At this moment, there are plenty of jobs in India. And they are present in BOTH MNC and Indian companies.

cant wait to finish my BE now. only worry i have is that something like the occurence of the DOT com bubble burst should happen again in some other form.

 

[Sushubh]

actually u hve to worry about a backlash from the USA public than a problem from the industry.

i feel that as long as there's a Republican in office at the white house out-sourcing will continue, but once if a Democratic candidate comes to power in the white house then things will start to get tougher for out-sourcing.
