The market is already saturated with all the "Patels" of this world, and YOU WILL reach the ceiling with that type of skill.
I suggest you take this opportunity and take a masters course in Business Administration while you are riding the wave in this company while you get income. You will expand your skills to a strategic decision maker point of view and making business decisions rather than rebooting routers. |
HI,
I agree on the IT outsourcing and business consulting area, which even many ITs and SW developers want to join.
But just few comments :)
How many decision making positions are available in comparison to IT (programming and development)? Simply not comparable.
Which positions were affected by the crisis? In all outsourcing companies (big companies) I can tell that IT is the least affected branch.
IT has many opportunities, you can earn a respected salary with little experience, with business u'll live with little salary for many years hoping one day u'll get the proper position that can feed you :)
Concerned about my career -

??), well though i am not into programming and development, since my field is networking, but i can tell you 1 thing for sure is that certificates will help you boost your career, so if you are stuck in the same lousy job (aren't we all?) and can't find any replacement and you think that your time is going to waste, well use it to strengthen your cv by obtaining some certificates in your domain, i think there are Oracle DB certifications and stuff like that which you can study and attend the official tests and obtain certificates... good luck :)
?
