3. If you join in a Work
If you try to search for a job in a company, you may get one doubt. What kind of company do you have to choose? There are 2 kinds of companies – product-based companies like Google or Zoho and Service-based companies like IBM, and Wipro. Mostly product-based companies give a big raise and the work pressure is low.
If you join any work, they will give you a contract to sign. You have to pore over the contract. Make sure don't slack off, otherwise, you will be dismissed. If you work hard and earn experience, you will get a job with a competitive salary and generous benefits.
I used to study B.Sc maths degree at Nandha Arts and Science College, Erode. At that time finding a job was a difficult task for youngsters. Also, there is no law for minimum wage. So I used to work a menial job in order to earn a living.
In my life being an employee does not a suitable job for me. First I started my career as a multimedia trainer. I worked in 2 companies and then planned to run a business with 2 persons. Then it dawned on me, that working alone is the right way for me. If I work for someone, they do not treat me very well. Whenever I ask to raise my salary, I brace myself for a new insult. For the past 13 years, daily I have been working on a computer. My job is very tiring. Also, I learned to be independent. Because I can't rely on other people to make my life decisions.
When I watch American movies and try to understand what they saying, I can't understand most of the words. Because they are mumbling.
