Recently few of my friends in the office shuttle were asking me or rather teasing me whether I had opened my own company recently. I replied to them by saying yes and also told my company name.
I told them its called " Classic bathroom cleaning solutions " with specialization in pink commodes (water closets). I know it sounds weird, from software to this kind of job.
Actually there has no such thing which has happened. I have no personal interest in opening any kind of company. The reason why I told them that I would take up bathroom cleaning is because of my frustration.
I seriously think there are very few software development prospects in India and most of the jobs are to do with maintenance / enhancement .
Most revenue is generated by cleaning code written by others preferably in regions outside APAC, and doing good business, so as a part of humor I told them, I could also do good business by opening a cleaning company (bathroom cleaning) and stay in business.
Many people tell India sustained recession (with respect of IT) because of ... whatever reasons... I dont care.
But I seriously believe India sustained through recession because of its rupee value and the low end jobs outsourcing companies undertake.
Low end jobs involve working on stuffs to keep production running. And no one wants to pay more for these kinds of jobs. since its more or less brainless. and it gets sent to countries where its cheap and I think we have a good chance to bid for them.
So these tasks continue to operate recession or no recession. Hence no affect of recession.
If you have some NEW / SCRATCH software development work which is directly funded by business, if business goes down, no wonder funding will go down.
If you do maintenance related stuffs (for ex take elevator maintenance) it will go on, recession or not.
So I equate maintenance to bathroom cleaning. just that the latter has lesser dignity (well in India only I guess).
Cheers.
Disclaimer- All this ranting is mine and has no co-incidence to anything or anybody. Any similarities is deeply regretted. Classic bathroom cleaning is just a name I have taken for name sake..
