This post was in hibernation inside the drafts folder for a month. Now only i got some time to release.
பேரு தான் சாப்ட்வேர் இஞ்சினியர்... பொழப்பு..? நாய் பொழப்பு. பாக்க பஞ்ச் டயலாக் மாதிரி இருந்தாலும், இது தான் உண்மை. ஆபீஸ் போறோம்.. PM / TL குடுக்குற வேலைய செய்றோம். சில பல meetings. திரும்பி வந்து, நவரத்ன ஆயில் தலைக்கு வெச்சுட்டு படுத்து தூங்குகிறோம். காலைல திரும்பவும் நாய் பொழப்பு.
Our life at present, is similar to the life of chicken inside a cage. They will be happy even with very small amount of food. Similarly, we feel delighted by the pay hikes, team lunches, celebrations and other so-called employee-friendly aspects. Additionally if they give a laptop, people will fly. Many don't understand that employer is intruding in personal time of the employee, and trying to extract work whenever possible.
We need to think beyond these. You might have heard about GoldQuest scandal recently. I don't find any difference between that and a s/w job.
In that GoldQuest scheme, Some unknown person is the beneficiary in the expense of our money. And at one time we will be the beneficiary in the expense of the someone's money.
I think, this is true with almost all s/w job. I may be wrong. I don't know. At the expense of our work, someone else is becoming multi-millionaire. And he is the so called entrepreneur.
A little bird told me that the amount spent towards completing a typical s/w project is 30 to 35 % (approx.) of the total amount billed towards that project. This 35 % includes employee compensation, s/w tools usage, maintenance cost, infrastructure etc. I mean to say that the profit is almost 70% for a single project.
So, at the expense of 5 % given as pay to an engineer, someone is earning 70 %. We may analyze on how to become that someone?

mate, I hope only we, your closed circle of friends are reading these blogs. I pray you haven't announced that you even have a blog and that it is not discoverable.
very true da macha.. a very mechanical life indeed.. some ppl don't realise at all.. they are contended with the life they've got.. some realise and all they can do is lament.. some realise and do something about it and go on to become that "somebody" you were talking about.. i think we fall into the second category.. only the realisation but no action.. :)
