I am nearing the end of my B.Tech course in Computer Science and I want to know what are the options available for a job after graduation. I am interested in software development and coding, but am willing to explore other opportunities also. Please suggest some good career options.
There are plenty of opportunities in software development and IT. You can get a job as a software developer or programmer in companies like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, etc. The pay is decent and the work is stable.
You can also try for product based companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Ola, Uber, etc. The work is more interesting and challenging but the selection process is tougher.
If you have good coding skills, startups are also hiring freshers. The work environment is flexible and there are lots of perks but the pay may be relatively lower initially.
Government jobs like Software jobs in BEL, BSNL, NIELIT are also available. They offer good security and benefits but the work may be less interesting.
You can also try for non-IT jobs like banking, finance, consulting. Many companies hire engineers for these roles. Just keep updating your skills accordingly.
If you have a passion for something beyond software development, pursue that after some work experience. Do an MBA or other courses in the domain of your interest.
Work on side projects and open source contribution to build a strong portfolio which can help you get a good first job. Try for internships also while in college.
