I've been self-employed all my adult life and I don't intend to change, but someone close to me got a campus placement with Wipro. Joining date is March 2009. He has also received an offer to a government job in our home town, albeit at a somewhat lower salary, and he's asking for my advice. I've summed up the pros and cons of each job this way:
1. Wipro: Higher pay and perhaps better opportunity to gain experience; but having to live far from home at higher expense.
2. Govt job at home: Lower pay and lower chance of learning on the job; but better job security and can work within walking distance from home. Lower living expenses and probably lighter work load.
What do you guys think? And what is it like working for a company in general, and Wipro specifically?
