What happens to those 1.5L students/professionals? Scares me everyday.

What does unemployment around you look like? Or if not around us, for people trying to come out of Tier 2/3 towns. These mass recruiters (behemoths like Capgmeni & Cognizant + TCS Infosys) are actually the gateway for many into a city life. In the absence of it, it's scary to think what they're up to.

The new generation would rather be jobless than accept a job offer that pays 🥜🥜 (3 lpa). It is scary, but it also gives these corporate companies a chance to pay better.

I don't feel that's the case. I think it's more from company's decision to not hire not the other way round.

It’s definitely not the freshers not wanting 3lpa.
Freshers literally working for even free or 1.2 stipends.

We probably will see an unprecedented economic divide in this country going forward if the unemployment rate stays this high. And we know for a fact the government has tried to suppress this number to paint a rosy picture

Even if you bring the most honest and competent government, our economy will collapse one day in near future. Overpopulation and unplanned families are root causes of most of our problems.

@BearMoody As a libertarian, it certainly looks so to me, too. Do we have some data to back that claim up though?

Totally agree, i was unemployed for almost a year just after pass out in 2012, same repeated in 2015(this time unemployment duration was less). My 2 cents, never lose hope, be prepared and keep feeling inboxes of recruiters.

IT firms wanted to normalise single digit appraisals and 20-40% hikes in lateral hiring. Additionally, less IT spending in US/Europe impacted the job market as well. It always happen in some shape n form in every 4-5 years. When this downfall ends you will again see jump in hiring and companies finding it hard to retain employees. Till then focus on your skill set, stay away from social media as it will make u lazy, focus on your health and be patient.

Every profession has a surge in demand and then a saturation point. Is this happening in IT as well? I also think the colleges/ Universities will have to focus their syallabus more towards AI/ as per the changing industry demands etc.

I don’t think it’s about AI honestly. It’s just a supply vs demand issue as simple as that. People have overhyped ai like anything. Students need to understand that now they would have to be in that Top 5% category to get a decent job simply because of the competition.
