ABC Company Bengaluru Experience - I

It is Nov 2006. The month which I officially think was the month I was in a job. I joined the ABC Company which has one of the highest workforce that any Company has. Atleast to my knowledge. The induction program was offered with Sodex-Ho coupons to pay for our lunch. I was somewhat pleased with the coupon. Since I was about to have lunch from my own earned money. The day I will never forget :). After the lunch it was all good time with induction and all. We had nearly around 3 months of technical, VNA and other training. It was time to be allotted into projects. In the interview I had answered that I would be happy if I were in day shift for the job. Gone, the oppurtunity to work in that Account flew away with that answer..........
Gosh........The contract end date is approaching. Luckily we got interview for the Server operations profile. I gave the interview 1st. I got selected. Luckily no one asked me about the working in shifts :). It was nearly one year I worked there with a lot of pain since it was weekly rotational shifts. ABC had the benefit of switching job profiles. I took advantage of it and moved to Software testing then. This advantage cost me my perfomance rating. I was given the poor rating on 3 (Note this) which mad emy career hell to a large extent then.
It was normal fresher training for testing, then again it was trying for projects. I literally cried or died to get into a project. May be because I had very low rating. To my surprise or bad luck I got chance in 2 project at the same time. I did not want to leave project A since it was related to embedded and the interview was taken earlier. Unfortunately, the person responsible for me getting these 2 projects insisted me to join project B. I had no choice or I thought I never make one since she was the reason for both the projects. Besides project-B had Canada or US oppurtunity then. This information made me content atleast.

ABC Company Bengaluru Experience - II

The US or Canada oppurtunity was only news. It never happened or neither did I get any onsite till date. My business unit change or even manager assignment was not done even then. Then news came we need to look for other projects. One of my friend Ramya referred me to Project-C. I cleared the interview. I joined the project. I was much relaxed then to get a chance to work in a Project after a long struggle. There I learnt Manual Testing & RFT on my interest. I was not much aware of the work place ploitics then. That year in 2008 again, I got low rating for not much work clocking since I wasn't assigned with the new BU manager or did not get utilisation or it was politics against me. I was sadened to the core. Being one of the core contributor with directly writing test cases straight away, I had been rewarded with a low rating after hour or so of argument with my Manager. Not loosing my heart, I worked. All the tough or database related test cases were assigned to me. The en

ASDF Company Bengaluru Experience

After being kicked off very badly. Now I am searching for a job like dog again. Searching, searching I landed up in a job after 2 months then on June end 2009 through a stupid FDSA consultancy. The consultancy cheated me by telling more pay earlier and offering me less pay on the offer letter. The consultancy representative told this is what is offerred and for me job was most important then or I didn't know the importance of salary :). It was training time in job, again that project didn't come to ASDF. Next I was put into Project-B there. There also I could stay for only 2 months. Project downsize there again. I was finally put into SQA Team based on my interview. There again, it was my another visit to Hell. I am still in Hell believe me :(. The SQA manager was content with my work, that she herself asked me to find out the procedure for making me on roll. Then on it was path to hell. I approached the Testing head of ASDF. She acted like a Govt servant and spoke to my manage

VTU Exam Approach

Hi Folks, I write here my varying experiences I encountered and mastered the approach to write Karnataka State VTU engineering exams. At least to my knowledge. I passed out my engineering in 2005 after loosing a year in between. The reason being not that I did not study, but I did not know how to study for BE - VTU syllabus engineering. After the lost year I hardly had any back logs. This is simply because I had mastered the art of scoring in VTU. Believe me, I hardly worked as much as I did when I failed. In fact, I spent most of my time seaching for what to study in the text book after seeing my syllabus. Since this was difficult, I also tried going through previous QP's with answers. h approach also didn't fetch me enough marks. What approach led me to ashieve better results was easier and brought me more satisfaction. What I did was 1) buy the most important text books 2) check the syllabus and mark what was needed to study in the text book. 3) finally read only for 8
