Recommended Posts

Posted

Below are pros and cons based on my limited interaction with friends working in various fields. Please share ur opinion. I had another thread asking for best IT field to shift to instead of Civil Engg. But wanted to start a new thread on pros/cons

IT PROS:

  • Work from home on Fridays (Never for other fields)
  • Work from home mostly (Never for other fields)
  • Easy to get a job if laidoff (Other fields really difficult)
  • Opportunities in India or other countries (Other Eng fields have limited opportunities outside US)
  • Higher pay 

CONS

  • Stressfull depending on the client and expectations

I don't know how easy it is to get a job in IT, but I don't think other fields is that hard.
