High expectations, more so, unrealistic ones...and that too from the people who do not have such quality skillsets that would support such hikes.<BR/><BR/>Predictions about the future of IT industry are realistic, given the trend highlighted here.<BR/><BR/>It's a very nice article Krishna. <BR/>Keep posting such good articles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5863416.post-1121487809727981032005-07-15T21:23:00.000-07:002005-07-15T21:23:00.000-07:00Nice post and pictures realistic life.But before c...Nice post and pictures realistic life.<BR/><BR/>But before comparing, we should keep in mind that US was in this stage for long time.. people have seen how recruiters used to stand outside school gates and people drive on valley and get 3 offer enroute!!<BR/><BR/>So India is replicating that.. but correct thing to do would be learn from US lesson and candidates move to higher level of skillset before demanding such hikes.<BR/><BR/>I think all MNC's are more to blame for this culture, same as what happened with start ups in US. They need few people and good one, so they had to go that route and today they need more people...

Given the unrealistic expectations in terms of salary hikes on joining/increments vis-a-vis relentless costcutting and competition in this industry, I think many companies in the IT industry will one day implode!
