There were some people who have even advised me to join the technical field rather than doing an MBA…I ignored it!  Some people might say that I did a mistake there but I don’t have any regrets. How could I compromise on a degree which I thought would be my last degree in terms of an educational level……. Of course, I don’t have any plans for PHD. I remember one of my Prof. saying –“for those who want to enter the corporate world, PHD is neither desired nor required.”  

 Like all the other graduates, I had also hoped that things would be different once I get my MBA degree in US. I thought I would joined any company in the entry-level position, work hard and try to get there where I want to...never realized that I had to join this so called IT consultancy just for the sake of H1, where all the things that are very likely to be fake besides my certificate.

I also know that some of our friends (who are computer engineers or IT graduates and still facing a hard time on landing a job) might have hard feelings for us because they might think that at least, to some extent, people like us are responsible for occupying their jobs. This might be true to some extent but then again it’s all for only one damn thing which we call it -H one B.

I know there are so many people like me who are in this phase, lot of them are frustrated because the things are just not working even through these consultancies, as they used to be in the past. Companies are not hiring as they used to, economy is down, job market is at the worst, and here if we think it in a very selfish way then we might say that things are getting tough day-by-day for only the people like us. As I said earlier it is only a selfish way of thinking otherwise, everybody knows that majority of the people have been suffering from this meltdown. There is nothing much we can do about it. All we can do is let’s just hope that the things start to get better, let's just go for each and every possibilities, let’s just do the things we’ve to, but let's not  let your MBA title go in vain……………At least we do have our last option of so called IT consultancy and beyond that its all future.

Any comments and suggestions are highly appreciated!
