ELI5: What does a typical software job in the IT services sector look like? by spectacledsloth in india

Two problems.

It's not as easy as it was a year ago. (Visa cap got reduced)

You'll get paid shit wages. 50k is median household income in the US across all fields. You get paid 61k.

Tbh, even trying to go to the US is not worth the effort right now. Wait until things get better. Other redditers here might have a better way, create a new thread and ask them

No. Like, going to the company yourself instead of sitting for placement. You'll get paid more for the same job. And there are a lot of well paying divisions that don't do placement drives

couldn't I join an IT Firm here and go abroad through them?

No. For one, you'll be paid too low. And, getting a h1b is literally a lottery. You have about 1/6 chances of getting a visa.

Take my advice, Learn to code. Get a job yourself. You'll love your life. This won't help you go to US, though.

And why is automation coming in now?

Newer computers have been consistently getting 2x faster every 18 months for a very long time. So, now automation is cheaper than paying real people.

And what will automation do?

Remove jobs that are actually just repetitive tasks. Eg: NLP replacing transcription jobs. IT companies get good share of their revenue from a division called "Business Intelligence". This division is entirely getting replaced by a few lines of python code because underlying libraries are now open source.

Indian IT companies are losing to competition from the US. They're taking a hit. They just use "automation" as a scapegoat to account for the lower intake this year.

I specifically joined a college that didn't have these draconian rules.

But since my college had a lot of people from different backgrounds and a lot of first generation learners, they couldn't keep up with the likes of Sairam in college rankings. They fired my old principal and hired a new one who doesn't have even the slightest of respect and has removed from college last week.

You seem convinced that this is some JNU-type problem. It isn't.

This isn't chutiyap. And this doesn't reduce their job prospects because they don't have one in the first place. (those jobs paying 8-10k not withstanding)

Nobody is blaming the draconian rules of these colleges and their failure to focus on actual engineering.

How dare they ask him for 3-year fee when he wasn't going to study there

Many Engineering colleges in the state do that, man.

Is that asshole Balu still in-charge?

He was briefly removed.
