I think, I will let go this time.
Its a curse to be average and that too in IT :-(:-(:-(:-(
Take a shot at GMAT again only if I am able to score 700+
Why do people consider bein from IT pool to be a curse or as a disadvantage?
Someone rightly said, its all in the mind. If youa re ready to believe that your being in IT is a curse, then certainly you are making others believe so...including the AdCom.
Look at the bright side, one gets to have international experience whether though physically being outside home country or through interactions with clients and onsite teams. One gets to work with companies with reputations throughout the world and watch closely how organizations operate in international arena.
One gets to participate in lots of organizational activities.
Your pay packets are fat as compared to most of the industries (barring a couple of them).
Not to forget all the chicks, parties and working leisurely in air conditioned buildings with swanky interiors
If you do not respect what you do, you cannot expect AdCom to do so....or for that matter don't expect anyone to do so.
I have been working for close to 3.5 yrs in IT...and when I see the job profles of some of my friends, I can proudly say that I am doing much better...and that I could have been doing much worse.....
For that matter...ask someone working in telecom, you will know when you will get a call at 3 AM to look after a site that is down, or ask someone working in a call centre...or ask someone working on a floor in a small mechanical company...
NOM to people working in such industries....I am not undermining their jobs...My point is that there are much harder ways up the ladder....we at IT are in much better position....
Its upto a person how he makes most of the environment he is working in. Whether he frets about where he is working or he actually does something to make that workplace better.
Respect your Work, Work is God !!!
P.S. - I am in IT by accident. But no regrets what so ever. Cheers !!!
