What is the life of an IT employee after being fired from a company?
Well I'm too young and inexperienced to answer this but still I would like to share my experience.I completed my graduation (BE) in 2016 and had no thoughts about building my career.My field of study was computers so I took up Java training in one of the excellent institutes in Bengaluru (India) recommeded by one my friend.My training was going well. It took 5 months for completing whole Java with 2 projects.Meanwhile I was attending drives but was not clearing the interviews so I was quite frustrated.Later after doing some research on career growth as a software developer engineer, I saw there would be vast growth in Mobile Technology so I developed interest in building apps.I took Android development course in the same institute, a month later after completion of Java, concentrated more on Android learning, the components, procedures, designs etc., Built a small app which boosted my confidence level.Luckily I cleared my 1st interview on Android developer position in a start-up company and got the job there.I joined the company in July 2017, I started working on a project directly, everything was going good for 2 months.We were 9 members in our team or whole company I can say! In different fields like Front end, Php developer, Java, Android(Me) and iOS platform.From second month we didn't get our salary for 4 months. Company people were giving reasons like they are out of money, searching for investors and other shitty reasons, we trusted them as they were giving dates for paying all our dues.Here came this day, November 15th 2017, they had told to pay on this day all our previous dues.He is not manager but a co-founder called us and said we are going to shut the company bcoz of lack of fund. You people have to leave now, we'll call you back when we get enough money and started saying all philosophy about career and all, we were feeling mixed emotions while listening to him.He asked us to officially give the resignation letter.P.S out of 9 I'm the only person live with my parents in the city, others are from different places living from their earnings.And November 15th was my birthday, returned home with no money and job. (One of worst b'day gift)It was birthday to one of the co-founder as well and he didn't come on that day to the office.My concern is about all my colleagues coz without money how will they survive in this city, paying rent, travelling cost etc.,
I had signed an employment bond for certain years, but now I wish to leave the company. What is the best way of dealing with this situation?
Although I am not a legal expert, a lawyer would better answer your question, but I can answer this on the basis of my knowledge. As per Contract act in India, such bonds are not enforceable, since they are considered in restraint of trade.In the past, many employees have violated such bonds and in such cases, companies have resorted to different means:Allow the employee to go, take no action - In this situation, you lose nothing, the company will discharge you.Allow the employee to go, hold his Salary - In this situation, they will not pay your full and final settlement salary. Probably you will lose gratuity, leave encashments etc. and your unpaid salary.Restrict the employee from going, sue the employee - In this case, the company will go to the court. It will be a very lengthy procedure. According to the past cases, the company will have to prove that due to your layoff, the company is bearing direct costs. Further, the courts would rule in favour of a company only if the terms and conditions mentioned in the agreement are reasonable. Having a penalty clause in the agreement makes it unenforceable since it is not a reasonable term. So generally the company will be able to recover training costs only. This option is exercised only when the employee is very highly resourceful or employee is at a high ranked position.Recommendation:In maximum cases, Option B takes place. So you need to plan your exit smartly so that your salary cannot be withheld by your employer.However, you are at risks only if you are positioned at a very unique post and there is no replacement for you in the market or maybe if your services are highly important for the company projects and without you they will not be able to continue the projects.Then the company will never sue you since the legal costs are too high to keep spending it on every employee who leaves.If you think your post can be replaced easily, the best thing is you may try writing an email to the company, mentioning a notice period and ask them to permit layoff. Mutual understanding is the best way to solve problems.One problem will be that, it will be difficult to get experience letter and employment relieved letter which is actually asked for by various companies, when you join them, as a documentary evidence.

How tough is it to get a job off-campus as compared to on-campus hirings?
[Attended both on and off campus placements this year]Let's see. We do have a similar academic record. Although I'm not from one of the "Top 20" Colleges in India, I do have a decent academic record (8.77/ 10.00 if you want to know). I am also a OSS believer, did my GSoC, contributed to a few organizations e.t.c. Participated in ACM ICPC regionals, active on Codeforces and so on. I can share my experience in this year's campus interviews and off campus interviews.Campus interviews started happenning during the summer in our college. At this time I was wrapping up my Google Summer of Code. I gave rat's ass to the interviews. Didn't prepare at all. Just hopped in and couldn't even clear any of the first rounds in Amazon, Zoho, Cisco, Oracle e.t.c. Although I could answer ALL CS technical questions in their first rounds, my mathematical aptitude score was far below the average. I learnt my lesson that interviews can't be cracked without preparation, even with a strong technical knowledge.Once the college started, I could see the most of my peers are already placed in decent companies. I felt sad and left over. What I did was:1. Create an active LinkedIn, aboutme, AngelList profile. Have a Github profile and do active OSS contributions. I also bought a website and linked it with my Blog (I maintain a technical blog over the years, that helps the recruiters to see my career progression, from HTML, to JS, to Python, to Algorithms, to Kernel hacks, to Software Politics). This gave me an edge over others. You search for my name, and have 6 pages of information including about me, my FOSS contributions and a PDF link to my resume. Make your online presence felt.2. The most effective way of securing a job is networking. Trust me on this. Try meeting people and social engineer them. Make them not hate you. AngelList and LinkedIn helps in this case. Get referrals, as many as you can.3. Be strong in your technical aspects. Don't make the person recommending you regret his decision. Practice daily.4. Communication skills matter a lot. More that technical skills. Be good and smile often.Hope that helps. Comment if you have any query.EDIT: Removed anonymity.
