1. Indian IT Services and Consulting companies (Infy,Wipro,TCS,Cognizant,Mahindra,HCL and 100 more) have engineering work which is as good as any of their counter parts in the world. This is proven by reshift in the delivery pie in the last decade. So, by saying these jobs are useless you are discrediting the whole of the IT services and consulting industry jobs across the world which include IBM, Accenture, Capgemeni, HP.
2. We are talking about product focussed companies and services focussed companies in the IT space. But both the types of companies have the other offering. It is the proportion of their revenues which varies. IT Companies keep shifting their portfolio of products and services based on market need - Infosys 3.0 is an example. So generalizing job nature on a company basis based on ones experience only is point less.
3. IT Services/ITO and consulting industry generates business revenues of US$595 billion across the world, this includes the services divisions of product companies. All product revenues put together is about $250 billion. So if every guy would work for only IT product focussed companies there would not be enough jobs.
4. There are people who write articles, whine and complain, quit and go. Choose the easy way out. Then, there are people who work to improve and make it better, lead society to a better world. Latter ones are the leaders and have received accolades in the history.
I have one simple question to people who are commenting that freshers should join Infy, TCS, Wipro. Why?
You guys are simply giving only philosophy like someone can join Infosys and likes to change the system, improve culture n engineering practices, service work is also important with product work etc. (Who is talking of service vs. product here? This is engineering vs. non engineering)
Freshers are not interested in philosophy. They want to use their knowledge and learn how to do work properly along with earning money at the same time.
Why will a fresher join a company to change the system and improve the culture of the company. Are they social reformers? Are they the managers of Infosys/TCS/Wipro? Should the freshers decide the culture of Infosys/TCS/Wipro or it is the responsibility of the CEOs, HRs and managements to decide the culture of Infosys/TCS/Wipro?
In short you guys tell me why a fresher should join a company to do all these philosophical and cultural improvements instead of trying to join a company where the fresher can do proper engineering work and learn good coding and engineering practices from his seniors?
