Corporate LI{f}E!!!!

The heading above doesn't truly portraits my views on the new life I have started but yes..it surely indicates a few things I am going through!!
Well..to start with...I joined my new company on 21-06-2010 as a trainee..and what I felt here in this short period of  time..I am writing it here...
First of all..it takes some time to realize that u r out of ur college life and since from day one they make u realize that u r no kid anymore and u should start taking things seriously.....trust me, this thing is most painful....:(
and the next thing they train us here is to sit for long hours without breaks...The first two days were very painful as every college student has not the habit of sitting for more than 40 minutes at a stretch and here they make to sit for 9 hours (minimum) with short gaps in between.....
Then..comes the 3rd....the CODING part...since this is an IT company..they expect you to be very efficient in programming....and it was the thing which I loathed most during last 4 years....
These were the days in which i used to think that is this job worthwhile???
They stressed upon the syntax part more than logic and that made me very uncomfortable....I used to feel very bad about the  whole thing..!!!
One of my close friend left the company and that shook me within....The flashes of memories of our placement days began revolving past my eyes...I could  easily recall the celebration which we did after getting placed in this company...I can easily remember that chilly night on which the result was going to be out...I could have given anything for a +ve result that day...I prayed at the time of result..infact,I begged for the +ve result that day to GOD.
These all feelings were making me nostalgic..i cudn't decide on anything that whether her decision was judicious or not???Though,it has nothing to do with me on a personal basis but I continued to think....It was like my mind was flooded with thoughts and i could do nothing to prevent it....
But,then I met with the mentors and they shared their experiences about this industry,this life..and then i realized one thing that
"THERE ARE NO FREE LUNCHES IN THIS WORLD"

The companies have no option but to train us in that manner so that we cud be an asset for them instead of liabilities....Any one in their position would want to reap the benefits..and as one needs to work hard..as well
 as smart...to be successful here...

ya there are flaws too and sometimes one get very disappointed with the system and think of running away..but who can assure you that the next 1 wud be a better place to work in..


AND..One last bt definitely not the least....here they lie about the remuneration...the CTC states something else and there are 100 clauses to understand it....and a very interesting term i.e Variable allowance which is based on performance..makes the salary slip ambiguous.

Anyways..I am more learning than enjoying here...lets see what is in store ahead...
wl share more experiences of here..till then ciao..:).
