The popular social networking site Facebook is all set to begin its operations in India at Hyderabad and is currently looking for an India head. Besides ‘looking for a person who can set up India team and scale it up' as India head, the company has plans of recruiting local language specialists, online sales managers and IT security heads. The hiring process will begin in few weeks.

It seems it will start small. The required skill sets will include strong insights into consumer Internet experience and persons, intensely passionate about Facebook who can strengthen relations with advertisers and partners in India and support those in North America and Western Europe.

So users, do you think social networking is a new career option in India?

Indeed social networking is a new career option in India. These days we can see new new social media and online marketing sites opening since the youth today is passionate about these things. Indeed social networking is a golden career future career in India.

No, i don't think so as it can be only a career option for very few as the number of people working behing a social networking site will be very less, and this to become a career option in India has a very long way to go as still internet penetration is not at all happening, though twitter and Facebook are setting up their offices just because they think India has bigger role to play in future but infrastructure wise we are no where close and career in social networking will be very less as there are very few social networking companies that are there in India.

Ya its because we enjoy putting our views, photos & getting connected with people using social sites. Then whats the harm in seeing it as a carrier option. Besides if there is a work which you previously used as entertainment/refreshment and now you have a chance to earn money with it, its better na... You will never feel as working, you will just keep enjoying & refreshing all the time.... This will lead in better output. So I think if one has a chance to work for facebook its really good option.....

Absolutely the next thing in the Indian psyche is going to be social networking and using sites such as facebook,people are so passionate about the same that most of the younge generation today have not only downloaded the application on to their mobile handhelds but are posting on the same several times a day.

Leena,India for centuries has been an orthodox and conservative /reserved society but with the advent of internet ,mobile connectivity the idea of social net working has caught on well with the youth of India and the net working oppertunities as a career will give a definite boost to the this phenomenon and help bring youth or like minded,like me, closer for a good cause of changing the face of Indian politics which can then shape the destiny of the people of India.

Purely due to Demand Driven factors , the social networking will have  its longlasting impact in India. Setting up their vicinities in India is a welcoming signs for our country .As most of the career options are focused on youth and their talents on internet , it will attract  high number individuals. But the potential Career Growth Scenarios has to be viewed & also the packages.

no,becoz it is very early to say confidently that social networking sites will become a carrer option.It depends on how many social networking company are start hiring in india and also what is the quantum of the hiring process.if only 1 company start hiring and quantum is very few then it is not an option,it is just an oppurtunity for some software professionals.
