Is leaving the country, the only solution for rising the career laddder??

The world is coming to India & we debating wether to leave Indai and mke a career abroad

Why so , may be the author did not get the break he desired but then I and my friends and my family did not go and settle abroad or study abroad to make a career I am now at a position beacuse of my qualities, education and commitment to my work.

I am mentioning a golden rule my late grandfather told me once, if you are ready to work then just do not bother about success as it will come just like the sun comes in morning after every night

In my direct experience,the career growth with lots of Learning and updation only in our own country.

In abraods,with big salary package,there may be big hikes also.But they growth percentage will be very less.

They fariegn companies will try to hire specified people for specific job.The promotions will not be not be much..

In middle east,they may give some promotions,bt nature of works will not change...

We never learn the way they do their work and they never hesitate to do their work by own.As from my personal experience Europians utilize the time better than us in an average who work.

This is my personal opinion.

Thanks

In response to the ever-declining status of the teaching profession, and its adverse effects on the country's educational system, the Federal Ministry of Education in Ethiopia introduced a policy of the teachers’ career ladder in 1994. While reformers believe that the introduction of the policy has improved the condition of the teaching profession, the net gains of the policy remain deceptive and even, in part, reduce some of the benefits teachers used to enjoy in the single salary scheme in the past. Among other things, central to the claims of the policy's advocates stands an improved salary scale for teachers. While this was admittedly true by the time the policy was introduced, the gain in salary raise has gradually been lost to the bureaucratic hurdles and watchdog structures erected to screen teachers’ eligibility at each stage of the career ladder. After critically assessing the major aspects of the policy, along with the voices of Ethiopian teachers, the current study argues that the policy of the teachers’ career ladder in Ethiopia is another prototypical case of a failed experiment both in terms of improving the lives of teachers and maintaining their professional rights.

I shifted to Muscat 3 years back with same aspirations that every young professional has, but believe me I am not sure if my career has progressed here in Muscat, Oman. The learning here is almost NIL and the way India has grown in last 2-3 years I envy all my colleagues who would have earned a bit less but then gained more than me in knowledge and experience....

Yes getting a right job is difficult in India with so much of competition, but then once you get some good years of experience Career and professional Growth is best in INDIA!

To get a job of your choice, well paying and to have a clean atmosphere for learning – All this with the comfort of staying with your family, friends and relatives. Are we not expecting a bit too much to happen within India or any other country for that matter? Why just IT, the feelings are same in all segments of work sphere. Some countries happen out of choice, some out of compulsion. But if luck gives you a workplace with options of learning new skills with better pay and good working atmosphere, it takes your personal life away from you.

Savita, I don not agree with your views as try and see the success stories herein. The numbers of successful professionals would be exceedingly higher than those who had gone abroad. To make a quick buck and return to your homeland is the most preferred criteria amongst the aspirants. No, leaving the country is certainly NOT the only solution for rising the career ladder, but yes, certainly THE ONLY solution for strengthening your finances.

i think leaving india & going Europe/US is not only sollution to grow your carrier.as we know India is one of the fastest growing economy in the world & you can get what so ever you want to achieve here in india.

the topic for discussion lays stress on " the only". I agree with all people who say  working abroad is a great career boast for any individual and obvious reasons are the clean work atmosphere, judgement of the individual by their skills not by caste and background and blah blah and more of growth opportunities. but i would beg to disagree that healthy growth is only possible baroad. Off late there are compnaies in India also that are giving clean atmosphere to Individual with skills to grow and grow rapidly. Obvious we should keep the monetary aspects away from this discussion. we should discuss this only on the basis of satisfaction.

Here i would like to state that the so called malise working condition of India is the result of our own wrong doing and we and we are the people solely responsible for this.

Our Indian Industry provide employment opportunity in all areas and now the penetration of industry has also entered mid/small towns.

Working in India enables:

1. To be proud to work for your own country
2. Considering the affordable cost of quality-living, even our Indian salaries even provide for saving (building capital/property)
3. You can afford further studies (part-time) to enhance your carrier opportunities
4. Possibilities of going up the organization's ladder are much higher in comparison to your colleague who has gone on long overseas posting, because out-of-site may mean out-of-mind.  

All the above is really true in knowledge based industries e.g. IT (software development).
