Profile, package and location. It is what a job offers on these three counts that matters, says Ayesha, a 27-year-old freshly minted management graduate. In June this year, she thought she had got all three when she landed herself a job at a leading aerospace company in Bengaluru. But it was not to be. “I joined as a program manager but the project I was to be a part of was shelved, and here I was, far removed from what I was hired for.”
Today, she is working in Mumbai at a leading private sector bank as a product manager. “It is a marketing job and I have to stretch myself, putting in 11 hours at work. Despite compromising on the location, this at least suits my profile requirements.” But Ayesha (not her real name) is far from settled. In three years, she expects to move on from here as she says that location will matter yet again due to family compulsions.
While her quest for a happy career continues, Anirudh, 25, is getting his “exit plan” ready even before he joins a leading Indian company. “I need an exit plan as it is a great organisation but still a lala company. I may have to keep my options open.” He is not enthused by his mother’s plan to celebrate the start of his career.
