Well, this is my status message on linked-in these days. Reason- My company after trying hard not to touch India office headcount in last one year, finally bit the bullet and shut down the India operations. In several rounds of layoffs in US office so far, one at the end of each "below expectation" quarter, they had already cut down the staff size by 50%. Well, the good news is company is now recovering from a string of bad quarters and hopefully will soon bounce back.
So here we are, 5 "IT guys" in newspaper parlance, trying to find shelter after the sudden unseasonal heavy rains. The things are going well so far with all talking to different suitors to find a match between good work and financial and non financial incentives. The 1.5 year journey we had at Tropos was fun and we really had a gala time together.
And coming back to linked-in, heck I wonder if its any good for job searching in India. How can recruiters come to know of the people like me who are looking for a job? If they can, I would be amazed because sites like monster will get you hooked to phone for hours in a day attending the calls from the dream sellers..
All the best to me and my partners in crime(read ex colleagues) in this marketing exercise of selling your self to the companies at a good bargain!
