McJob:

I have often heard software engineers( I am no exception) refering their job to be McJob. But when you count the benefits that job has provided then certainly you have to re frame your statement.Five day week, enough money for the rest 2 days,parties,social acquaintances, free chating,browsing and orkutting(certainly orkutting has become a part of Software enginner's quotidian office activities these days),list goes on and on.

But to be selfish is humane. Who wont be when u hear that ISB grads are offered a whooping 8 digit salary.All the MBA institutes are coming with equally good figures.So then comes the moment of self realisation?What am I doing here?Offcourse saying and doing are two things...

Before joining even i had different plans...Switching jobs,better job profiles during each switch.It is true that many people quit looking for work when they find a job.That is my case too...

Now even i ve a feeling...mine is a mcjob comparing those figures...

PS:McJob refers to a low-paying, non-challenging job with few benefits or opportunities. The term was coined by Douglas Coupland, in his novel Generation X, after McDonald's fast-food chain.
