“What are all the important things I should take care of in the IT industry?”
So let's discuss, Myself in the IT industry for the last 6.5 years worked on 4 top product-based MNCs in the world.
- Your appraisal doesn't depend much on the quality or quantity of the work package but majorly depends upon the image you created in the eyes of your supervisor. So never get surprised seeing some non-performance employee getting everything in the company because he had done something which you failed to do strong Networking.
- Never do overwork. The more you work the more work will be assigned. Learn how to say NO or your bandwidth is full. People in IT have weak memory they will easily forget how much hard work you did last week. So save yourself from getting overburdened.
- Your colleagues are not family actually they are your competitors. Sharing everything with them can turn out to be dangerous. You never for making strong networking they might do bitiching against you. So be careful I know exceptions exist but you should also know exceptions are rare. One more thing never shares your salary details with your colleagues because after this only two things will happen either they laugh behind your back or feel jealous and bitiching against your salary to the supervisor which can impact your appraisal.
- Be diplomatic with your response. I know every supervisor motivates you to be blunt but same time they consider this a negative thing. Example Never say you don’t have work today to get new work say I think I have little bandwidth to take a new challenge. Things are the same but feelings are different you have to learn for your survival and one major lesson avoid over speaking anywhere be it during Tea break or a meeting, people will not take you seriously so better to choose to speak less and on point technique.
- Everyday learns something new, so keep updating yourself don’t wait for weekends at least in day 30-45 mins spent time on upgrading your knowledge. Understand one thing not everyone can become the favourite of their supervisor but you can be the favourite of your skill and indeed you will favourite of several recruiters who are ready to cut the check at whatever price you want so keep updating yourself.
- Avoid female colleagues or at least never attach to them. Their one email can ruin your whole career. Do whatever masti out of office not in office. I have experienced several male harmones getting attached to the opposite gender and ultimately finding themselves in the well. My friend in the office got in trouble when his female colleague who used to report him told HR this guy's mentality tortured her and the matter was just he just got a little strict over the delivery of the project. So be careful. Don’t become over available person when someone ask your help.
- Buy a chair which has neck support, cervical is very common with people who have sitting jobs and always buy one screen with a brightness control that will relax your eyes too. This is the best investment I made.
- Never resign without an offer. I know so many of you had a toxic environment but not having job work pressure will make it worse. So try your best to get something before leaving something and the best fun you will make in your notice period time when you have a job in hand.
These are general points which everyone should take care of even if you are just fresher to the organisation and the rest of other problems can be very specific which will specific solutions.
Life will always challenge you and its upto you that you wanna stand against the challenge or run away from a challenge.
