Software Engineer Career Path,

The transmutation in computers and information technology has increased the requirement of designing and developing of new computer software systems and incorporating new technologies into newer applications . A software engineer has one of the most in-demand, lucrative careers in the world.  The number of individuals presently employed in this profession is almost double than any other computer profession.  From design to development, testing to troubleshooting, computer software engineers use their ability with applications and systems software to create the elements that make computers work.   Individuals in these computer careers may be employed by companies such as Microsoft or Adobe to develop retail software packages. Or they may work instead for a general business (or as a consultant to a general business) where they develop custom, proprietary software or adapt a retail package to meet specific business needs.  The range of software engineer depends on the size of the organization.

Many people prefer to call themselves software developer and programmer .The difference between a software engineer and a software programmer speaks very much of the company's expectations. If a company is looking to hire a software programmer, they are seeking a person who writes code that will perform a specific set of functions, but if they are looking to hire a software engineer, they are much more looking for a person or a group of people who are smart, with good communication (both written and spoken), who can get things done, analyze and solve problems that will provide an entirely new system, which may go beyond simply programming to hardware selection and other issues.

Software Engineers are hired by Big IT giants such as Microsoft corporation, Sun Microsystems, Cisco Systems, Oracle Corporation, Apple Computers, Google, Yahoo, IBM, Tata consultancy services, Hewlett Packard, Accenture, HCL technologies, Huawei technologies, Philips, GE , DELL, INTEL etc..

In a recent study , it is mentioned that even if there are ample opportunities across the globe for a software engineer, countries like Australia, Canada, Finland, U.S, UK, Germany, Korea, Taiwan, Austria, Brazil stand first in providing work value and life quality .

Generally, the  promotional ladder for a software engineer would be , Trainee software engineer, Junior Software Engineer, Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, Lead software engineer, Development Manager, Project Manager. This promotional hierarchy differs between companies. Packages for a software engineer, depends on his area of expertise and years of experience. Average pay scale in India for a Trainee / Entry software engineer is somewhere near Rs 3.5 lac per annum. This varies with companies.

A software engineer need to be focused all time in his career path . Sticking on to programming alone won’t be incremental he needs to keep himself updated with the latest systems and technique. He should be able to expand his horizons in  IT networking, AD, Mail servers , security and much more. If you have a passion for .NET, C, C++ , learning and gaining experience in that particular language would always be an added advantage.  It is not possible to switch from JAVA to  VB.NET coz its just another language .In Technology anything related to web and network applications is great. On Business side, anything related to healthcare, PAC systems, like Sieman’s technology works good. HL7 protocol is a big plus. Experience in all kinds of apps from PDP8 assembler right up to LINUX and UNIX device drivers is an added advantage . Coding is just a basic entry job for a software engineer, he will turn into flying colors with the passion he has towards his work, by learning new languages, enhancing his engineering skills etc  . 

If you are looking for longer term success in your career, your best bet would be to dig in and become deep at the technology stack you selected and enjoy.

MBA Career Opportunities

A write up on 

GREAT JOBS for MBA's

An MBA or a Master’s in Business Administration is a very hot topic now-a-days. Is this just a trend , a trifle, or is there a real value in pursuing such a programme. Major reasons for doing an MBA is 

1 )Higher Salary, 
2) Better Career Opportunities. 
3) Consolidated business network, 
4) New skill and Knowledge Acquisition, 
5) Holistic perspective over Business world. Having a Business degree enhances your Marketability .It Can be a gateway into the growing market of Data Analytics and information management, IT, FMCG, Banking & Human Resources. These  jobs have a greater scope in MBA.

1.       Data analytics: Data analytics, data mining, data visualization – the hottest careers right now have to do with using data effectively. Analysts with MBAs are expected to play key roles in strategic decision making in companies in all sectors – be it Banking, FMCG or IT. They will hold the key to not just asking the right questions, but also to interpreting the right answers. 

2.        IT: If you have an inherent love for innovation, then IT gives you the best shot at coming up with original and realistic business solutions. Ability to stay focused in a deadline-driven, detail-oriented environment is of essence in the IT sector. Microsoft, Oracle and all other software giants are on the lookout for MBA graduates with entrepreneurial skills and cutting-edge thinking. 

3.       FMCG:  Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain Management. If these words ring a bell, then you have one of the world’s largest industries waiting to welcome you. The Fast-Moving Consumer Goods sector needs creative Sales and Marketing managers who can work parallely with other teams to analyze product demand, and devise pricing and selling strategies

4.       Banking: All MBA grads need to be good with numbers. But investment bankers, financial advisor's and analysts need to be gifted with mathematical, statistical and accounting abilities. This high pressure job has been on the top of the list of post-MBA career options for long. JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup look for candidates with a combination of strong analytical and interpersonal skills. 

5.       Human Resource Management : Being responsible for recruitment, employee retention, training and on-boarding – no joke. HR might seem like a piece of cake, but there’s a lot more to it than just communication skills, people skills, and the ability to deal with change. And that’s why it’s still a hot area to be employed in. An MBA will give you the edge to cope with organizational issues, and also the opportunity to work closely with top management and participate in strategic planning.



There are numerous ways to change your career with MBA degree.  
A) Starting your own Business , 
B) Working internationally with MBA, 
C)  Advancing your career with MBA, 
D)Achieving excellence with your MBA , 
E) Becoming a leader etc . 

The type of job you can get is often dependent on your work experience, your MBA specialization, the school or program you graduated from, and your individual skill-set. In the past three years, companies have consistently underestimated the number of MBAs they would hire; if the same is true this year, that figure could easily grow. The good news comes at a time when more companies are feeling upbeat about their long-term outlook, and, as a result, are more inclined to hire a greater number of MBA students..

In general, a strong career plan is one that brings the candidate to a very successful future, and one that is very likely to happen. I believe that MBA will provide optimal accomplishment for a short term objective, as well as a significant advancement towards achieving long term goal.
