Hopping jobs has become more of trend now a days. 80% of the people I ask, are definitely not satisfied with their jobs and are looking for a change. The change can be because of money, because of boss or because of the work ppl are getting to do. And it has become so common, that when someone comes n tells you that he/she is leaving the organization, you actually cant even successfully bring a ‘surprised’ look on your face. Because it really is no longer surprising!
Retiring in the same company which you joined as a GET, is now a thing of the past! It works no longer. Infact, now a days when you don’t switch jobs, people may even start thinking that you are no good to get a better one. Really, that’s the case here.
Some people say staying with one company does better to you, you can rise fast in levels. But salary becomes a constraint. And hopping jobs increases your salary to no bounds!
Well, it can be the other way round also! Depend in which industry you work in.
Manufacturing was infamous for paying low salaries. But the market scene is changing slowly. Manufacturing companies too have increased their salaries. Though not to the level of IT scales, but still, manufacturing has a lot more to offer (other than money) than an IT industry.
I probably say this because my first job was with a core manufacturing company. And the experience that industry has offered, is no match for the IT industry. You deal with so many processes, manufacturing, designing, testing, validation, systems.. its just so vast! The ‘cross functional’ working is an amazing thing! Though there might be so many problems within the team, but when they appear in a c/f meet, they are one. Always supporting the colleagues. Its like having ‘One face to the Customer’
Apart from the knowledge base, you get to deal with such a vast variety of people. N trust me, handling manufacturing people, is one of the toughest task! If you achieve that, you can be considered ‘good’ at people skills.
With so many advantages, there are also a bit of disadvantages! But those are there in all the industries, rt?
Personally, given a choice I think I wud anytime prefer to be an employee of a manufacturing organization!
