The Winter is Coming - In IT

SIT UP, PAY ATTENTION AND LISTEN. The automation and #Trump's protectionist policies are going to affect the Indian IT sector in most adverse manner that can ever happen. Even if the projected number of more than 2 Lakh people do not loose their jobs in the sector, not many new openings are going to come your way. WHY AM I FOCUSING ON JOBS, AND NOT ON START-UPS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP? To be frank not everyone has in her/him what it takes to be an entrepreneur! PERIOD! You need much more than technical skills to start a business and more importantly to sustain and grow it over time. Successful entrepreneurs have those special talents that most of the ordinary folks lack - perseverance, due diligence, knack for research, understanding for potential market, team building, motivation, and most important NEVER-BACK-DOWN attitude even when beaten down and smashed and buried! We may have a few of these for whole life or all of these for some time; but that's not sufficient.
