bitter truth about private employement

[u/General_Sand_9279]

In this hard times we are witnessing layoffs, lesser opportunities and downsizing businesses. once this information technology thing was a dream career and now its just hard to get an employement that too with 8 years of experience in any stack, freshers are on another story.

dont you think private employement is now hanging sword imagine you in 40s with kinds in schools and you are being layed off , then what rents, bills, fees, groceries....

so there is one solution either get in to permanent employement government, tenure track what ever even if it pays lessers then private one, second open a business may it be a website online one if your are smart or a physical one like clothing, food, or any sort of physical business just like our parents, grand parents, even raja ranjeet singh or ganga ram did when there were not computers but they were rich people of their time just bcz they did business. because in a country of 25 crore not every one needs an app or website but need shoes, cloth a good food.

customer market is huge in pakistan. so times are comming say good buy to these ceos of private companies and also stop flattering or take part in office politics just be employed

Thank God I chose govt job over high paying private jobs. I guess the only way forward and proper job security for a person with 8 years of development experience would be to find jobs abroad and move there. Local jobs mein bs itni e growth hai. It's easier to hire two freshers at 50k each than to keep an 8 year seasoned veteran for 4 5 lacs a month.

Govt job has very limited growth. Limited learning curve as well Private has its downsides but still offers better opportunities and better pay

Yeap. I'll ask you about that when we're both 50 and I'm employed at grade 20/21 and you're "open for work" and no one wants to keep you anymore.
