Open Source - Who said you can't be a GURU

We often get complacent when just finish our lab session and we happily share how our program "PALINDROME" worked or how "Swapping of values of two variables without using the third variable". But software development and product development is much more than these lab programs. While lab programs are foundation, you have to understand that you cannot be there for a very long time. Please remember while the foundation is necessary for a building, the foundation by itself is not sufficient, you got to build a nice building on the strong foundation. Writing programs for lab exercise is quite different from writing a real software and the obvious difference is that you will have many users for real software whereas for the lab exercise there will not be many users.

Career is a long journey, it does not stop with the first job. But the first job is certainly the start. When you step into the todays' workplace you are welcomed by mentors, colleagues and managers. If you are going to view your colleagues as your competitors then it is bound to affect both. Partner them. Start partnering your colleagues, mentors and managers. Your success has an impact on your managers' success so does your failure. Collaborating and having a good working relation with your team is of prime importance.

Once you are on the runway of the career flight path, you just have to take off. There is no other realistic option. Then starts the journey. You have to plan soaring high in the initial years or risk the crash land.

 It was my first year at office and I was really disappointed at having to land in a company. Its all because I did not want to land up in a company, the first place. I wanted to pursue higher studies. Though I liked the pay, I liked college better:). Thankfully I got into a division where in there is real product work rather than services. So thats point number 1. If you dont like something and forced to take it up, find the good sport in it.

Life is just a bit different outside of college campus. Many of us never want to leave college -- and whom to blame ? :) We all love to lead a carefree campus life. If a day scholar then it is fun to have the college bus or the train ride. The whistles, catcalls, the last minute cramming for exams, friends made in the train / bus and its a world onto itself. The hostel life is even more interesting. Late night adventures, gossips, pranks and late morning sleepy hangovers. Well its a world apart when stepping into the corporate world. Apart from the fun, there needs to be a sense of commitment and self control. It is not so gloomy, on the positive side you get to earn and it is almost good riddance to exams, tests and assignments. Lets just go over few pointers to adapt oneself for the transition.
