Working for your Career in SW Industry, First few years...

           For an Engineering Grad who typically joins a SW industry either picked up from campus or a job searched through your friends... I feel it is very important to choose yourself the "Domain" you would like to make a mark into. Being a fresher you wouldnt have much knowledge of what a domain is, is it good for me... what will be my future if i stick to this domain, how is the current market for this domain etc. Most of the time, the SW learning aspiration comes from the friends you have around you...

          Most important thing for an individual joining any role in a SW industry is - "Work for your job as if it were your last day in the company that doesnt mean you should leave the company for stupid reasons :D, keep your learning curve growing and constant.. Try to explore more things, keep moving forward, learn from your team members who do different things, spend some of your time in learning the technologies that will support you for your domain... Rush fast, never find yourself loosing the pace on the technology you like and you are working on. You work for the company because they pay you and the rest is common among other MNCs as well (to the large extent but it differs too).. This is very important for you to note that at any point of time, you should be ready to sell yourself in the market... you should not come back and say, oh no.. i was busy with my other works @ job and i didnt find time for this.. that.. etc."..

           Dont loose the meaning of life while doing all this, please do this and you will realise down the line after say 3-5 years, you can move very confidently.. you can sell yourself very confidently...
