Views:I suggest the people who r job-less and still in USA that they come back to india and choose temporary job. This not only keep the existing job holders secure but also create some more opprtunities for the potential job seekers. I also suggest the job-losers not to agree for low paid or other jobs as this may degrade the position of future INDIANS. In my view, the fate of existing job holders in some what stable as the economy is slowly growing up. But they may face problems with the job-less/ unemployed people who r ready to do the job with 40% of pay!. I humbly request all the job-less people in USA to come back to India - WHERE THERE ARE LOT OF IT JOBS R WAITING FOR THEM!! Jagan Mohana Charya Engineer-CS, CMC Limited.

Views:well earlier programmers were needed to set up the automation level to what it is today.Now what you need is experts in various fields to run the applications.How on earth do you expect a 12 std passout to run applications for advanced science? Do they have the proper background? Well this is cleansing and in good spirit .It also is an example to the indian citizens to think twice if they really need to run away from india to fetch their bread&butter. Koodoos american govt.

Views:Hi, I think this concern of S/W engineers that they are no longer wanted is really misplaced.I work in a company which invests quite a lot in R&D and has been in RED since its inception.But i must say there is still a lot of optimism here. We still think that providing some dumb generic solution to a customer solves his problem but never really go in to address his strategic needs. There is even now more a focus on the Technology involved rather than the customer.This is one of the main reasons for panic button getting hit when Tech' companies like Mobile phones/Semi conductor devices start showin gthe red in the Balance Sheet. I am a Techie but still feel its not the Technology which is causing the problem but the Attitude to think that every new Technology will produce a customer satisfying solution.. Cheeeeeeeers Sriram V.

Views:The whole of IT is by itself a hype. It is the only field that immature even after growth. This crash i feel is primarly due to the entry of people from other fields who came in just for the sake of money and nothing else. So an hype that the whole word is only IT and nothing more was the hype that was created and ultimately led to the present situation. By law, anything that goes up fast will come down double the speed. Thats nature. So is this field. Anything that is being done in this world for money, just the money will have its own premature death.

Views:Hey Y'all, 1. Please improve your English and/or writing skills. If your resumes are written like this, you won't get jobs be it recession or boom time. 2. Do not put up your questions here. This is a message board not somebody's online career guide. 3. I read people from India asking if they can still come here ... what are they think skinned must be an understatement for them or is dumb the right word. Can't they see what we are all going thru. 4. So many want to go back to India ... India does not have jobs for those who are there. What guarantee that we will get one. 5. Time to think of a career change. 6. Not all H1Bs are bad and with fake certificates. Some of us have worked hard to be where we are. The assumption that all are with fake degrees is disgusting. It is only of late that the fakies have stormed in and this is a reality check for them. that's it. if US thinks this recession is going to hurt the job market, it will stop the H1s coming in.

But I was kept idle in India without moving to USA by my employer. From Nov'1999 to till today I didnt get a chance because my employer placed me on bench in India itself wasting my H1 visa. This is a clever Fraud practices followed by employers spoiling employees career options in US which should be stopped. I wish the Government should take action against the employers for such unlawful practices.

You pay taxes for clean air, clean water, clean streets, timely police and fire services in case you need them. What makes US a better place to live than india are these services and these are the things you pay taxes for just like you are "supposed" to pay taxes in india when you live their. So stop crying about taxes. And ask yourself why did you come here in the first place if your answer is Money only than you are getting what you deserve right now (layoffs).

No breathing time to hunt for a next job fear of being deported living a life under a channel of pressure with tension blocking the flow of thoughts.Will the economic situation improve if yes then when and will these H1-B holders return back to USA or not at all. Is the present economic scenario demands a halt for coming over to U.S.A. and like these many doubts go unanswered. All I feel is that there should be some sort of rules relaxation for H1-B Holders but with the present economic conditions for the rules to be changed in one night is still a journey to the unknown.

Views:I don't know what the US laws are. But it is patently unfair to lay-off without a minimum notice period. Indians would do well to remember this experience and learn that it is better to be in your Country earning half the salary with dignity than to be thrown off like a used towel, without even being extended certain normal courtesy while being laid off. It is abhorring to hear that entry card of employee is deactivated on a fine morning without even being told. That is not the way a civilised country and civilised people behave. Is the US becoming the Uganda of this millennium? It's time people from India also realised that all that glitter is not gold! Over-dependance on US has made matters worse. Not enough response when Europe or Japan beckons! The enterprising spirit of Indian businessmen is legendary. It is a challenge to our IT professionals and I fervently hope they will come out of this testing time unscathed and re-assert themselves and make India proud!!!

When we are in US its our country to work, and if we go back our Karma Bhumi is again Indian Mother Land. We can give more to our country, I am pretty sure.. all of us have learned a lot. Although this is tough for people who came recently in last one year.. because they have not made their piece of Money Cake. 2. If you want to stay back.. We should push advantage against our Social Security deductions from Pay check. We have paid a lot of money for that.. we should get part of our salary till the time we are here in US without Job. Will some one of those Associations.. Pass these message to US government !! We all will be helped... 3. Don't loose your mind and don't abuse this country. We should be happy.. because we as a human being would have never taken this decision to go back.. and God is helping us to go back and stay with our Family/Friends and make life there more beautiful. Who know, we may come back here.. OR Americans will start Shifting to India in Next Few Years... 4. Lets make India Better than US.. and Give Visas to US citizens including our Kids to come and Work in India Hazzle free and Not like H1B's. Best of Luck to all... Where ever you all are Enjoy life in what ever you have.. don't loose your enjoyment.. Life is so straight.. Simple Principle of life.. If you are happy others will be happy and they will keep you happy.. And if you are not than. no one can make you happy... Jai Hind.

Views:Hi Guys, Don't feel bad when I speak facts.You went to USA when you could not survive in India.You made some bucks and showed them off to the Indian society as if you are the most talented and you made money with your intelligence, hard work,talent and determination.When you were riding high you derided things 'Indian' and thought that you would soon be an 'American'. You said you hate Indian values, Pollution and the cheap ways of living here. Now do you at least understand What is India?When you are thrown out of USA where do you go? Guys, understand one thing you came to the position where you are today because of our inexpensive education system.You donot understand it then when you criticized India. Come back to India and contribute to welfare of Indians.We are here to welcome you .
