Switch Over

Gone are the days people glued to the organization...!
Gone are the terms seniors & juniors in a concern...!
The boom in the market (IT) has made one to go for numerous job shifts.
Of late, no surprise finding the years of experience and the number of companies almost coincides in resumes.
Okay lemme break the ice.. I m not here to discuss about why this happens, being me the victim for the same its not advicable to debate an eye opening session on the topic and dont wannu be too smart too.. but just wannu share my personal experience about my recent shift.
September 2006:
Thought to go for a change.
" what change?
Do you really feel the work as boring ?
Are you taking a overlook that you reached a saturation level at ur job ?
Do you think you have delivered the 100% on what you are expected to do ?
Is the company unable to quench your thirst of workaholism you have ?
tell me whats the reason behind your thought " - asked my conscience.
"No Its not that way , but u know... u know ..? Things should not be fixed and rigid all the time ?", I replied.
"Hey Arent you moving out of your place.. I dont see you sitting at your place for more than 10 to 15 minutes altogether..? " - conscience.
"Okay okay I want a change just because I want a change thats it. I may not be able to give you a clear cut reason on this" - Me.
" I will tell you what u run behind. You r running behind money. Its all the basic calculation that any average IT guy would do on shifting to other company 20% to 30% of what you draw now.. and ofcourse you dont want to travel abroad due to family constraint... right ?" - conscience.
"Yes.. you are absolutely right ?" - Me.
"Ada che idhu oru pozhappu.. how long will you keep jumping companies for money you moron.. Havent you got a good recognition , acquired emerging technical knowledge here. I bet this is the same that you gonna get in the other company too. " - Inner conscience.
"I am no more gonna listen you. All I want is 20% hike and quiet stay in my home town with my family..."- Me.
"Okay No one can change your fate.. go ahead " - conscious.
Done with the exit interview with the current company.

October 2006:
Joined the other company , Done with induction and awaiting for project allotment.
"Akilan , we want you to take Technical Architect role in this project.." - Supervisor.
I thought that as a good chance , well settled with the expected hike and a good technology oriented project".
"You may have to travel to bangalore since the team sits in bangalore..." - The next statement from supervisor totally switched off my power.
"Adapaavame idhukku pazhaya companylayae US poi irukalaamae...?" - my mind boggled.
"Ha Ha Ha... vaadi vaa... adichaanaa aandavan aaappuuu ... You should have stayed in your prev organization where you led a happy life.. Its okay, its your decision, live with that and suffer with that" - conscience

to be continued...!
