Indian IT industry is going through a churn, Many technologies are no longer much sought after in the It industry where slowly and steadily automation is taking over the some of the redundant job profiles. McKinsey & Company recently said that about half of the current jobs in IT industry will be irrelevant in three years.
Many It service sector companies are struggling to retain employees due to reduced wage hikes and tremendous pressure of market to sustain profits.
Though many IT employees are making an effort to switch their jobs to more updated and lucrative job profiles in DevOps, Cloud, BigData and Analytics and even StartUps, they are facing troubles in getting relieved quickly. Yes !, employees are supposed to give non-negotiable three month notice period in most of Top Indian IT companies. This is severely affecting the process of smooth transition to new job profile at a new company.
Over 28,000 frustrated IT professionals have knocked the doors of the ministry of Labor of Government of India asking the government to interfere in unrealistic notice periods and hassles in getting relieved smoothly from existing companies.
It is surprising to note the fact that in the United States, the average period of notice across IT companies is 2 weeks.
It would be quite interesting to watch out for governments response to the petition signed by a group of IT employees since Government rarely interferes in working of Indian IT companies.
