i Chintan,
Excellent blog and forum giving info to all freshers about how infosys and in general all i.t. companies function.I have a career dilemma which might and need your advice on the same. I messed up my infy apti and so couldn't get into infosys in campus placements. However another small company came to our campus and I got the job that is in Data Warehousing/Business Intelligence. What makes the offer exciting is within 4 months of training+project I shall be on the job and that too at the client site in Mumbai. I feel it is a great learning opportunity. Even an employee from the company very honestly told me that the learning experience shall be immense. Also the hr said there are quarterly reviews.Your post on smes vs mncs too has been very encouraging. But still there are certain concerns that I have which I would like to ask you.
1> I will get only the specific training in dw/bi and no programming training in java/.net or c or even programming concepts. Am I missing out on something? (I mean I can learn them on my own as well since I am from comps but still what do you think?)
2> What are my future career prospects in terms of joining another company or going for higher studies
i> ms
ii> mba
Your reply shall be of great help to me.
Thanks
