India's population is so so huge that if one refuses to work for less, someone will be willing to yo work for lesser, its a shame & thats what these companies survive on in India.😢😢😢
Yes this is actually very true though if one denies a job millions would accept that job. India has tremendous manpower that's why these companies play their cards strategically.

Companies like Wipro, Cognizant , Infosys , TCS , they aren't any tech Innovation companies. They work purely on commission model. They would make a deal with their clients for a candidate quoting 40-50$ per hour and pay 20-25k rupees back in India and get the work done and when asked for salary hike they say you are not skilled to be paying that much and eventually throw them out and get a new lot for 20-25k and this has been the practice. I personally experienced this. With current economy trends , every company wants to be profitable at end of the day . I understand there is Skill gap but not all the employees under skilled and companies are to blame for that. They go to college by taking commission and they get ppl even if you just sit for placement drive. If there is Skill gap , why there are no changes to Education policy , I have been hearing this skill gap for generations . Why don't companies collectively work towards bringing a change in Education Policy rather that sitting and commenting there is lack of Skill from past two decades. No one wants solve problems , but just keep blaming each other. No one wants to solve the problem 😏 And govt should stop giving permission to open engineering colleges every luke and corner
right, they are not tech/engineering companies. they are HR companies that do mass recruitment, maintain a supply of labour pool and provide human resource to clients, taking commission in between.
@@SuperScarab I know it’s not HR responsibility to dictate, but what is the upper management doing . When HR comes with list of candidates who are hired , they must deep dive on why this happening . It is necessary to have private and government initiative in handling social problems not just organize blood donation drive , marathon and call yourself social responsible company . Why do you think colleges in US have talent is because the private companies work along with colleges as partners and work towards skilling ppl and provide hands on training during their studies. Also having a skill is not something that will be there from birth . It’s actually how you have been taught to approach a problem from basics. In Indian system , all you care about is marks and marks are not sufficient and then comes caste reservation. Caste reservation is like a cancer in India. Also , there are a lot other fields like sports who would have huge potential if they can come up with having something like Indian institute of sport(IIS) which should hire ppl with good skills and train them from early age with best facilities. There is sports ministry from decades , I don’t know what it is doing It’s not like since it’s a private entity that doesn’t mean Sudha Murthy comes and preaches about life and do commission buisness from other end
Its not about population. Im also an IT recruiter. These companies have become so greedy they want quality of Mercedes S Class with budget of Maruti Alto. Thus their poor quality and burnt out employees!
Well this is the mindset of bussines men.😂 like they buy shares at cheap penny price and get crazy value. Now they are trying that philosophy everywhere.😂 This is the reason they are in profit. Nice bargain.
Exactly and media has been colluding with them for ages now to build a narrative that "80% are unemployable" to continue to scam these engineers/govt and other stakeholders involved. I have been hearing this phrase since eternity. More money for them at the top. I am also an IT/Non IT recruiter so can totally relate to what you are saying. They want IIT quality people even in that 20k. Shameless greedy corporates. Infact the kids here are more hardworking where as our foreign counter parts may not be working that hard and getting good work life balance too. All due to supply and demand.
Such companies offer these meagre salaries and then blame India for not having a skilled labour force. Do you expect skilled labour to come at these salaries? This is corporate hooliganism.
@@rameshtyagi161 If you are using human workforce to run SQL queries then you are actually making a loss. Most of these things can be automated with better infrastructure and then employ a few high salary supervisors to look over the system. The people who join your company at 20k, know that they have no skills, so they take up anything at any cost even if that's not sustainable. This strategy is actually bad in the longer term as most people leave their jobs after a year or two, starting again from the ground up.
I never understood why we wrote Cheap labour as one of merits of India in our school exams.. well now I am one myself 😂 Our education model needs to change ... it should highlight population, GDP per capita, poverty as huge drawbacks of India
I agree with you so much. Why should India be proud of exporting such good talent for cheap ? At an individual level, we feel like a bloody SLAVE when my company eats 99 dollars from USA client pay and gives me 1 dollar as salary and demands 70 hours per week on top of that. I am going to call up the end client directly and ask for direct employment bypassing all commission eating middlemen. I want money in my pocket to take care of my parents. Why should I clap when Narayan Murthy gifts 250 crores to his grandson and snatches sudha murthy charity money from my pathetic salary?
In India there is no Minimum wage policy , No Govt regulations for white collar jobs.. Companies are exploiting this .. Not just Engineers.. take School teachers in private schools they are paid anything between 15-25k per month while schools collect Lakhs of fee from students… Govt need to look in to this
That package is for BSC/ BCA graduates , every one jumped to conclusion without even looking at that application form which CTS published , it clearly said 3 year graduates .. For Engineers the fresher salary correction was done to 4 LPA by CTS and Accenture about 3 years back it self , while that’s still no way where enough but better than 2.5 LPA
Cognizant is not deducting charity money from that pathetic salary. But infosys sudha murthy is so shameless that she deducts 800 rupees from that 20 thousand without our consent so that she can get padma vibhushan. Why cant she beg money from her daughter instead who is richer than the queen
Talk about hypocrisy! She will keep talking about owning x number of sarees and minimal living (surrounded by staff for everything and knowing that the world knows how much money they have is enough to not show off wealthy I guess) but not care for the employees who are struggling to make a living all together.

I am tired of hearing this bullshit that Indian engineers are not skilled and all. The same unskilled engineer comes to Europe or goes to UAE and earns more than a skilled (according to them) engineer in India. In India it's simply demand and supply, there are simply not enough jobs, so only the best of the best gets the job, there too companies have the negotiating power to reduce the salary. In Europe a mediocre student who is doing Masters in Communication doesn't know what an electromagnetic wave is and secures a job. Imagine the plight of that student in India.
I don't understand why these companies hype up AI so much. Let's get fact clear, other than tech product giants like Google, Amazon, AWS, etc, no one is actually really doing anything great with AI.

Have you ever given thought to why do those companies hire engineers for the works that can be done by a higher secondary ? Its 'cuz engineers can work like machines in comparision to your higher secondary dudes. Engineers have the necessary base on which they can cultivate the necessary skills which a company needs while working on a project.
Manufacturing sector employees get even less than that🙂 but no one make news🙂 for development of country manufacturing sector is much needed. But no one cares🥲
We'll said, I mean a fresher In IT sector is taking wages more than a guy working in manufacturing sector who has several years of experience! And why these media only talk about IT and not the other? Like they didn't even exist,😢 Of course now they are going to pay 20k only, because supply exceeding the demand. Today every one wants an IT job no one going for manufacturing company because of low wages. Hope government make revisions to minimum wages soon
The issue isn’t about upskilling. The real problem with these IT service companies is that more than 5% of the workforce holds positions (dummy roles) like Associate vice president and above. These gentle men are robbing an average of 10 lakhs per month in salary and incentives, while core team receive only ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 per month. Very bad.
I joined my first IT company about 15 years ago without engineering for 14,000 monthly salary. After 1 year there I became the floor escalation manager.

Understand that this is what the education of British did to us. We haven’t changed the British system to our original standards. It a machine feeding machine system. End of the day you are a resource to the company. Wakeup and do something else rather than feeding yourself to these companies.
When there is an endless supply of engineers salaries can be bought to the lowest to get freshers while at the same time maximizing profits as there will always be freshers ready to work for experience, free market at it's core.
The issue is not AI skills. It is that the Indian education system is heavily based on passing exams and ratta-fication, not on original thinking and reasoning. Add to that the general lack of precision in speech, and you have a marginally useful degree.
17 years ago, I got an offer of 2.2 LPA in my college campus. I’m extremely surprised to see that the number has not changed in 17 years what the f***? And mine was not any IIT, I did my engineering from a TIER 2 engineering college.

Matter of fact, non of the IT giants are research or product oriented. They primary focus is operations, backoffice and data entry; which in countries like US, Europe have gone autonomous with the advent of AI. If they keep up the salaries of freshers then experience will start loosing jobs via forced/voluntary retirements, background re-evaluations or demotions.

More than 2 decades back when I started my journey in the ITES/BPO sector the monthly salary was Rs 8k per month and bonus of Rs 1.5k. Most of us lived with our folks and those did not used to share an apartment with 2 or 3 others in some far flung place. Now even a fresher expects that he will have his own apartment, buy a car and start taking foreign vacations on his first job which is fostered by the culture of news media giving unrealistic expectations!

Oversupply of engineers and outdated syllabus is the main reason why we have such a low wage. Basics of AI, ML should be taught in every stream as its getting applied in every field.

Reduce those outdated things and introduce advanced courses which are actually used in the Industry. As soon as engineers join the company they have to start afresh learning everything. Degree has become just an entry criteria.

Here is some realistic career advice: Never opt for arts stream or go for any arts related courses. You will regret it for the rest of your life. Careers in Arts/humanities are not that plentiful or lucrative. This is the situation even in developed countries. Majority of the regretted degrees around the world are in the arts/humanities stream. Talking about preparing for govt jobs, you can get a government job even if you have a degree in STEM or business and the variety of jobs available will be a lot more. The chances of going abroad will also be limited if you take arts courses. In fact, a lot of schools in India don't offer arts stream. So guys, avoid arts at all costs. Get realistic guidance and select a better career.
Don't talk from your perspective also I did MA in politics and now I'm working as a legal advisor in Germany with decent pay.. without arts stream I can't imagine of thought of going to abroad or else study about society and research about that even if you take STEM based degree you only stick to the particular subject or tech oriented organisation which doesn't push you further but arts doesn't like that it pushes you to the many doors if you understand the society thats all each degree has own advantage and disadvantages
See....the problem is that the engineers getting hired by them aren't even employable...I have personally seen the kind of students getting hired by these firms....they don't how to write a single line of code yet they hire them...they train them for months to get any real work done from them and at the same time they give salaries to them tho low but still it is better then being unemployed....yet i don't know why these firms faces so much of heat....they aren't forcing anyone to work under them...anyone capable enough would get a decent job with some efforts
India's corporate culture is a facade of modernity masking deeply entrenched issues. Office spaces may look impressive, but they often hide the reality of dismal salaries, nonexistent worker rights, and a lack of work-life balance. Employees face poor holiday and sick leave policies, rampant bullying, and a master-slave dynamic where speaking up is not an option. This facade of progress is contradicted by outdated thinking and practices, leading many to cope with stress through smoking and drinking during business hours. Reform seems distant as those in power, often lacking firsthand experience in global corporate environments, prioritize businesses over people. Without understanding effective worker rights and policies, the government’s efforts remain superficial. A nation that values corporate interests over its people will struggle to build long-term trust and credibility.
There are too many people for these companies or people in power to actually give a fuck about the workers. Workers are EASILY replaced by new desperate ones eager to work for pittance. People with marketable skills will go abroad or will get "outrageous" salaries while 98% of the workforce will live on scraps. Since there has been practically zero improvement on the company's outlook towards their workforce for the past 20+ years....what makes you think they will suddenly wake up to this reality? Modern office spaces are majorly soulless concrete and glass structures......they look like and feel like a hygienic hospital ward. The desperate need to show a clean facade inside the premises while outside is a flowing gutter clearly shows what sort of urban planning we have in place.....not to mention the utterly badly constructed roads and the shops that encroach on them making the road even more difficult to navigate.
The concept unemployable is complete bullshit to get away from the facts that the companies are struggling to keep up with margins in recent years. We have better learning tools and courses and teachings now compared to 2 decades ago. How did this unemployable thing just come up, while there is even internship programming? The thing I need is labour for low cost and to do more work... Coz I need to show more margins to investors. Who should I blame on the low employment rate, the skills... If skill the only issue, a person came out of college 2 years ago and did courses should get a job rather than fresh college hire. Are the companies doing it?
Bro, companies are just faking the unemployable drama, so they can keep the wages low. They want cheap labour to make the CEO rich. These companies don't do innovation or any basic research.
The main question is what they are learning in their college years. Maybe it is antisocial behavior like ragging and partying instead of learning skills 💯💯💯
*Dear Palki In India Every Tech Companies are running Monopoly and dont adhere to any law* *They Do what they think is best to do cost cutting* *Worst Cognizant is just a example*

Situation could have been worst had the Dollar not appreciated from 72 to 85 in last 4 years..
Did you know - Cognizant is an Indian Company. IT WAS FOUNDED IN CHENNAI. Not Indian HQ ...Its Base is chennai. Likea Typical Indian Business They are used to underpay. Not fare to blame the entire sector. CTS is an Indian Company not a US Based org like Delloitte / Accenture

Its all coz new CEO Ravi Kumar ...hails from india this always happens when indian guys claims to top management..and even lowest ever hikes.its every where when oil prices depreciate no benifts to common people but when prices hike more taxes
Do they become employable after finishing MS in a foreign country? What % of engineers in US are employable? How do you define employable? Can they be trained in 2 years and be made employable? Go deeper Palki garu
simple answer is NO. and NO... foreign trippers are equally unemployable, as they shifted the problem from here to there. even if they get trained within 2 years, their chances of getting a job there is still very minuscule, result, they come back home and fight again with population.
Don't consider it as salary. Its kind of stipend for the training the company provides for initial 2 years. With current education system and curriculum, most of the Engineering graduates can't be deployed to projects hence companies can't make money out of them. So don't worry for them. after 2 years when they learn enough, will switch and easily make 50-60K per month.
With current recession, none of the companies want to look at our resume, they are auto rejecting without even looking at our talent. I have done plenty of projects, certifications and have 3 years of work experience in data engineering, yet I am getting rejections.
Driver will always remain at 25K, but IT professionals will be at 50K in the second year and 75K in the third year. Driver is productive from Day 1, but freshers will take 6 months to contribute, and most jump at the end of the first year. So, it would be a loss to companies like Cognizant if the freshers don't stay for a few years. I think freshers should do a 3-month outside training, and then companies should start the pay at 4L - this way, it's a win-win.
Yes like herd of sheep waiting for the master to give it instructions. Similarly our btech youths are like sheep waiting for witch companies to give them job. 🫡🫡
It’s called demand and supply. If Cognizant paid under market, talent would go elsewhere. The fact is supply is plenty. India needs a population policy first
In chennai, Ramapuram (opposite to Cognuzant), a bachelor can live in PG air-conditioned accommodation for Rs. 6000. Even if he spends 3000 on himself. 10000 goes to the family in village. It is a good salary to start. These techies will be using this job. as a stepping stone with 1 year stint in the company. Out of this 1 year 2 months goes for training. Last 3 months they do not work as they are serving notice period.
India's population is so so huge that if one refuses to work for less, someone will be willing to yo work for lesser, its a shame & thats what these companies survive on in India.😢😢😢

That's right, too much labor.
Companies like Wipro, Cognizant , Infosys , TCS , they aren't any tech Innovation companies. They work purely on commission model. They would make a deal with their clients for a candidate quoting 40-50$ per hour and pay 20-25k rupees back in India and get the work done and when asked for salary hike they say you are not skilled to be paying that much and eventually throw them out and get a new lot for 20-25k and this has been the practice. I personally experienced this. With current economy trends , every company wants to be profitable at end of the day . I understand there is Skill gap but not all the employees under skilled and companies are to blame for that. They go to college by taking commission and they get ppl even if you just sit for placement drive.

right, they are not tech/engineering companies. they are HR companies that do mass recruitment, maintain a supply of labour pool and provide human resource to clients, taking commission in between.

That's because the hiring is done by HR people, they take commission from the colleges, it's not their job to dictate educating policy

Why do you think colleges in US have talent is because the private companies work along with colleges as partners and work towards skilling ppl and provide hands on training during their studies.
Also having a skill is not something that will be there from birth . It’s actually how you have been taught to approach a problem from basics. In Indian system , all you care about is marks and marks are not sufficient and then comes caste reservation. Caste reservation is like a cancer in India.

I have been hearing this phrase since eternity. More money for them at the top. I am also an IT/Non IT recruiter so can totally relate to what you are saying. They want IIT quality people even in that 20k. Shameless greedy corporates. Infact the kids here are more hardworking where as our foreign counter parts may not be working that hard and getting good work life balance too. All due to supply and demand.
it's totally a supply and demand thing. One one needs these many computer science graduates. Sell tea instead.
Population is also a factor.
Such companies offer these meagre salaries and then blame India for not having a skilled labour force. Do you expect skilled labour to come at these salaries? This is corporate hooliganism.
They don't need skilled workforce, they need labourers for data entry and vigilance jobs.
Well said
Most of them are outsourcing companies.
For running sql queries, why do you need a higher salary? I am a manager in these companies this is a good decision
@@rameshtyagi161 If you are using human workforce to run SQL queries then you are actually making a loss.
Most of these things can be automated with better infrastructure and then employ a few high salary supervisors to look over the system.
The people who join your company at 20k, know that they have no skills, so they take up anything at any cost even if that's not sustainable. This strategy is actually bad in the longer term as most people leave their jobs after a year or two, starting again from the ground up.
I never understood why we wrote Cheap labour as one of merits of India in our school exams.. well now I am one myself 😂
Our education model needs to change ... it should highlight population, GDP per capita, poverty as huge drawbacks of India
I agree with you so much. Why should India be proud of exporting such good talent for cheap ? At an individual level, we feel like a bloody SLAVE when my company eats 99 dollars from USA client pay and gives me 1 dollar as salary and demands 70 hours per week on top of that. I am going to call up the end client directly and ask for direct employment bypassing all commission eating middlemen. I want money in my pocket to take care of my parents.

I am tired of hearing this bullshit that Indian engineers are not skilled and all. The same unskilled engineer comes to Europe or goes to UAE and earns more than a skilled (according to them) engineer in India. In India it's simply demand and supply, there are simply not enough jobs, so only the best of the best gets the job, there too companies have the negotiating power to reduce the salary. In Europe a mediocre student who is doing Masters in Communication doesn't know what an electromagnetic wave is and secures a job. Imagine the plight of that student in India.
The question is whether those unskilled Indian engineers can hold onto that job in UAE or Europe.

The issue isn’t about upskilling. The real problem with these IT service companies is that more than 5% of the workforce holds positions (dummy roles) like Associate vice president and above. These gentle men are robbing an average of 10 lakhs per month in salary and incentives, while core team receive only ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 per month. Very bad.

cognizant is not even a research oriented company.
Matter of fact, non of the IT giants are research or product oriented. They primary focus is operations, backoffice and data entry; which in countries like US, Europe have gone autonomous with the advent of AI.

Oversupply of engineers and outdated syllabus is the main reason why we have such a low wage. Basics of AI, ML should be taught in every stream as its getting applied in every field. God knows for what good reason they want such tough mathematics in engineering which is not used anywhere. Reduce those outdated things and introduce advanced courses which are actually used in the Industry. As soon as engineers join the company they have to start afresh learning everything. Degree has become just an entry criteria.

Here is some realistic career advice:
Never opt for arts stream or go for any arts related courses. You will regret it for the rest of your life. Careers in Arts/humanities are not that plentiful or lucrative. This is the situation even in developed countries. Majority of the regretted degrees around the world are in the arts/humanities stream.
Talking about preparing for govt jobs, you can get a government job even if you have a degree in STEM or business and the variety of jobs available will be a lot more. The chances of going abroad will also be limited if you take arts courses. In fact, a lot of schools in India don't offer arts stream.
So guys, avoid arts at all costs. Get realistic guidance and select a better career.
Don't talk from your perspective also I did MA in politics and now I'm working as a legal advisor in Germany with decent pay.. without arts stream I can't imagine of thought of going to abroad or else study about society and research about that even if you take STEM based degree you only stick to the particular subject or tech oriented organisation which doesn't push you further but arts doesn't like that it pushes you to the many doors if you understand the society thats all each degree has own advantage and disadvantages
@@Santhosh__62He said what the majority of people are suffering.

India's corporate culture is a facade of modernity masking deeply entrenched issues. Office spaces may look impressive, but they often hide the reality of dismal salaries, nonexistent worker rights, and a lack of work-life balance. Employees face poor holiday and sick leave policies, rampant bullying, and a master-slave dynamic where speaking up is not an option. This facade of progress is contradicted by outdated thinking and practices, leading many to cope with stress through smoking and drinking during business hours.
Reform seems distant as those in power, often lacking firsthand experience in global corporate environments, prioritize businesses over people. Without understanding effective worker rights and policies, the government’s efforts remain superficial. A nation that values corporate interests over its people will struggle to build long-term trust and credibility.
A perfect dystopia India is
There are too many people for these companies or people in power to actually give a fuck about the workers.
Workers are EASILY replaced by new desperate ones eager to work for pittance.
People with marketable skills will go abroad or will get "outrageous" salaries while 98% of the workforce will live on scraps.
Since there has been practically zero improvement on the company's outlook towards their workforce for the past 20+ years....what makes you think they will suddenly wake up to this reality?
Modern office spaces are majorly soulless concrete and glass structures......they look like and feel like a hygienic hospital ward.
The desperate need to show a clean facade inside the premises while outside is a flowing gutter clearly shows what sort of urban planning we have in place.....not to mention the utterly badly constructed roads and the shops that encroach on them making the road even more difficult to navigate.
Glad someone shed a light on the issue
The concept unemployable is complete bullshit to get away from the facts that the companies are struggling to keep up with margins in recent years. We have better learning tools and courses and teachings now compared to 2 decades ago. How did this unemployable thing just come up, while there is even internship programming? The thing I need is labour for low cost and to do more work... Coz I need to show more margins to investors. Who should I blame on the low employment rate, the skills... If skill the only issue, a person came out of college 2 years ago and did courses should get a job rather than fresh college hire. Are the companies doing it?
Bro, companies are just faking the unemployable drama, so they can keep the wages low. They want cheap labour to make the CEO rich. These companies don't do innovation or any basic research.
Government should try fixing minimum wages for all jobs. Right now only those daily manual job workers wages are fixed by government
The main question is what they are learning in their college years. Maybe it is antisocial behavior like ragging and partying instead of learning skills 💯💯💯
typical oldy
4:51, She gave me a motivational speech and I got goosebumps. LOVE YOU PALKI SHARMA
*Dear Palki In India Every Tech Companies are running Monopoly and dont adhere to any law* *They Do what they think is best to do cost cutting* *Worst Cognizant is just a example*
After few years of hard work things changes drastically and IT engineer get more than many other sector employees.
Aur karo engineering....this endless supply of t3 engineers is the whole prob
Jai Hind. India superpower. We dont care about unemployed people, atleast we landed on the moon. Bharat!
hahaha..
👌😂😂
IT companies are fairweather friends ... talent is there in India ... but the companies have a myopic view and don't focus on innovation... and come out with regressive measures like Cognizant when they see dark clouds ...
Situation could have been worst had the Dollar not appreciated from 72 to 85 in last 4 years..
Well said, asking the correct salary is not a crime
Did you know - Cognizant is an Indian Company. IT WAS FOUNDED IN CHENNAI. Not Indian HQ ...Its Base is chennai. Likea Typical Indian Business They are used to underpay. Not fare to blame the entire sector. CTS is an Indian Company not a US Based org like Delloitte / Accenture
Cognizant is a US registered company. Please fact-check
Misinformation 😀
@@bodhisattva6308 it’s based in chennai. Its was part of Dun And Bradstreet. Get the facts right bro. SL Guy , Indian guy and an American guy setup CTS in Chennai . Later they registered office in USA
@@bodhisattva6308 macha nee raj mohan ah
@@realmotivationmonk so yes it is currently registered in US. That was my point. It’s not headquartered in Chennai. We are not talking of origin of the company. I did a fact check of where it is headquartered for policy and tax purposes. My point remains intact 😀. I have been to the HQ in Teaneck NJ in 2011. It was HQ even then. Their executive board mostly maybe Indian origins but American citizens.
People always forget other engineering streams. Mech has had terrible pays forever.
Same with civil😢
8000 per month... and first increment after 3 years 😒🙄😒 most IT guys never know about these in-humane salaries and cry a lot when they get less than 20LPA as freshers
@@realracing3specter295lol most it engineer are jokers . I respect civil , mech and electric engineer more.
@@generalthoughts123 thats true... its sad that they enjoy almost all their college lives, and then also enjoy a stupidly high salary which was handed over to them without effort. while other engineers struggle to get job for years...
and no new hiring if you are old @ 45
If they are paying so much to CEO and upper management then do all work from them. And let them pay all taxes. We are happy being unemployed without tax and loan.. But this is the time to rethink about our mini wages... 😢
Its all coz new CEO Ravi Kumar ...hails from india this always happens when indian guys claims to top management..and even lowest ever hikes.its every where when oil prices depreciate no benifts to common people but when prices hike more taxes
Do they become employable after finishing MS in a foreign country? What % of engineers in US are employable?
How do you define employable?
Can they be trained in 2 years and be made employable?
Go deeper Palki garu
If west is not good at something, we too can be bad. Always comparison with the west. If you want to compare, do it completely. Kudos to you.
simple answer is NO. and NO... foreign trippers are equally unemployable, as they shifted the problem from here to there. even if they get trained within 2 years, their chances of getting a job there is still very minuscule, result, they come back home and fight again with population.
Don't consider it as salary. Its kind of stipend for the training the company provides for initial 2 years. With current education system and curriculum, most of the Engineering graduates can't be deployed to projects hence companies can't make money out of them. So don't worry for them. after 2 years when they learn enough, will switch and easily make 50-60K per month.
100% agree.
With current recession, none of the companies want to look at our resume, they are auto rejecting without even looking at our talent. I have done plenty of projects, certifications and have 3 years of work experience in data engineering, yet I am getting rejections.
It all depends on opportunities. If the market is good, you can easily switch else it will take atleast years to get a call.
Driver will always remain at 25K, but IT professionals will be at 50K in the second year and 75K in the third year. Driver is productive from Day 1, but freshers will take 6 months to contribute, and most jump at the end of the first year. So, it would be a loss to companies like Cognizant if the freshers don't stay for a few years. I think freshers should do a 3-month outside training, and then companies should start the pay at 4L - this way, it's a win-win.
Chaiwala, fast food wala makes more money then job holders.
You would be surprised looking at the number of people applying for the job 😢
Yes like herd of sheep waiting for the master to give it instructions. Similarly our btech youths are like sheep waiting for witch companies to give them job. 🫡🫡
Engineers are unemployable and the companies are doing them a favour by giving them jobs. The education system must be held accountable
Are the student interested in learning
@@designshorts4020 that’s primary education problem
Companies don't make charity. just don't recruit if the candidate doesn't fit
And western firms give business undercutting local wages or race to the bottom lol hilarious
@@designshorts4020Talking about interest when families push kids into roles they dont want to go into😂
It’s called demand and supply. If Cognizant paid under market, talent would go elsewhere. The fact is supply is plenty. India needs a population policy first
Its good someone's rising voice 🫡
Lack of real practical knowledge. Even teachers are not knowledgeable at most of places in India.
Add this too.... Work starting at 9:00am ends at when u sleep... Deadline meeting at short time, fear of lossing job at any time...etc etc
I am a cognizant employee and they gave 4% of maximum increment to us
Any layoff
YEHI TOH HAI AMRITKAAL 👿👿
AA GAYE BAHUT ACHHE DIN 👿👿👿
abhey konchu, har jagah yahi haal hai.
In chennai, Ramapuram (opposite to Cognuzant), a bachelor can live in PG air-conditioned accommodation for Rs. 6000. Even if he spends 3000 on himself. 10000 goes to the family in village. It is a good salary to start. These techies will be using this job. as a stepping stone with 1 year stint in the company. Out of this 1 year 2 months goes for training. Last 3 months they do not work as they are serving notice period.
All money goes to CEO.
Engineering degree now days it’s becoming useless
