Not everyone is worried about the upcoming economic crisis
Everyone’s saying that 2009 is going to be worse than 2008; that 2008 was just a preview. People are really affected all over the world because of the economic slowdown – they are driving slow, being conservative in spending, and so on. However, not everyone should worry.
Or at lease you shouldn’t (especially if you are an Indian IT Professional) according to this blogger. He has written an article titled Indian I.T Professionals Need not worry about 2009. He writes about the fact that during this downturn strong companies will actually be looking to consolidate their positions and will hire more. He gives examples of Accenture and TCS who are hiring fresh talent straight out of college.
Actually, I think now that everyone is aware that 2009 spells doom, everyone will be prepared for it, and thus it may not turn out to be such a bad year after all. I keep hearing about the measures governments, banks, various companies, and individuals are taking active measures to hold out during the next year. I think this ill have the effect of warding off the economic disaster.
