I successfully completed one year of my IT Career. It is great to be a part of such an industry. I have previously written a mail about my 6 months of experience. My first 6 months was so very exciting and challenging as i was learning some new things and was getting used to the IT exposure. But the later 6 months are not so interesting. But the later 6 months taught me some important things in life. Never compromise of what you want. If you want some thing try your level best to get it. Let me tell you about the next 6 months.
In my first six months i was undergoing training on product but not technology. Then suddenly all the major role players of our product left the organization as our company was acquired by INFOR. With this i was the only person for the UNIX part of my product. In the later 6 months i was getting issues on product which i was solving with confidence. This was going on for the three to four months. But for the past two months there were no issues. But with the last issue i solved there was a very little mistake done by me which will not effect much for the product. But this was escalated to the level of my development manager without my notice.
This issue pissed me off a lot. I did not like that. When i have done all the issues correctly there was not even a mail to say "Good work". But with a small mistake it was escalated to such a high level by the US ppl.
Then for the past two months there were no issues in UNIX. I was just sitting in the company. For one or two weeks i was just sitting and listening to songs. Then i realised that i need to work a lot on my career. I started reading JAVA and related technology. I started to prove myself as a valuable assest for the organization. There was a WEB CLIENT issue in one of the product. One of them approached me for the solution. I took it as an oppurtunity and then started to work on that and solved it. This proved to my manager that i am good in WEB Technologies and Java.
Meanwhile there was the APPRAISAL program on the plate. This was the only chance for me to express to my manager that i want to work on JAVA. I made it a point in the appraisal meeting.
Then the results were annouced ( that is the hike letter came), I won the battle i was given the WEB CLIENT of our product and also i was given the highest hike percentage of all the freshers joined. This once again proved that dont take what they give, ask what you want.
JOB SATISFACTION IS THE PRIMARY THING. I hope you would like my experiences. Please comment on this.
