Dear Students and Friends
Recently I read an insight
about Technical Debt. Technical debt is estimated to cost
businesses $5 trillion in the next 10 years (Outsystems). Don’t worry about this
technical debt? Shortly I will explain to you.
Outsystems is a low-code
platform (Boston, Massachusett-based Company) which provides tools for
companies to develop, deploy and manage applications. Basically the platform
writes most of the code. Developer needs to write only a few lines on top of
it!! Helps in productivity! Code first time right philosophy!!
In simple terms, Technical
debt means poorly written code. Bad code compromises many important aspects of
software engineering. Due to this, there are severe consequences and leads to
huge financial loss to the organizations!!
This is not good! Companies
are working hard to solve this problem! That’s fine! What about Hiring
Debt? The Cost of a Wrong Hiring Decision causes a much bigger problem to
the organization than Technical debt! Companies are worried about it but there
is no solution yet?
One wrong hire at fresher
level costs a module disaster. One wrong hire at a senior engineer level costs
an application disaster. One wrong hire at a project manager level costs a
portfolio disaster. One wrong hire at Vice President Level costs a vertical
disaster. One wrong hire at CEO level costs the whole company disaster! This
story continues!
The other side of the
Hiring Debt is called Career Debt! This is a much bigger problem than Hiring
Debt!! Now Let us see from an Employee perspective!
If you join a company for a
better package and the company's work culture is sick, you will experience a
fall into a 10-foot-deep uncovered manhole!!
If you join a company which
expects you to stay away from your home but there is need for your presence at
home, you will witness a carrot dangled in front of a balky donkey
If you join a company which
demands long working hours without your consent, you will experience a taste of
stale food that too when you are super hungry!!
If you join a company which
offers a mice job when you are expecting a Lion's role, you will experience the
taste of Karela juice (bitter melon) served the next day of your fasting as a
main course meal!!
If you join a company but
make you unhealthy/sick frequently, you will experience a Ferris wheel (a
circular ride that rotates in a vertical circle) right after having a Sampoorna
Thali that comprises over 45 insanely toothsome dishes!!
If you join a company where
your boss is harassing you, you will experience an Aloo Patta Gobhi Recipe made
using stone grounded High Spice Red Chilli powder (double the quantity than
required)!!
This story never ends!!
While software companies
are busy reducing their Technical Debt, while HR managers are tiring to reduce
their Hiring Debt, what are you doing to reduce your Career Debt?
Did you check your Career
Debt? If you are experiencing any of the 5 conditions mentioned above in your
work, your Career Debt is alarming!
Get Reduce or Get Rinsed?
Take a wise choice!!
Our team is working on a
few algorithms to solve Hiring Debt and Career Debt! Stay Tuned….
