Recession hits IT guys' marriage prospect

Hyderabad: The economic recession in India has brought the IT professionals' marriage to a halt. Contemplating on the IT slowdown and the job insecurity, parents of brides-to-be are no longer in the strive for grooms employed in the IT companies.
Parents are resorting to non-IT professionals as in the conditions of the employees can fluctuate. "It fluctuates. Day-to-day it can change," says Sharda Singh, a mother of a would-be-bride. Witnessing the various news on the IT slowdown one of the would-be-bride's father commented, "I'm very afraid of its effects." Parents have grown outwardly reluctant to approach for any proposals from any employee part of the IT sector, as they fear the uncertainty that has creped into the sector with the global economic crisis.
The prediction of National Association of Software and Service Companies, of slower IT export growth, the prediction of analysts of cuts in dollar revenue by some outsourcers has brought in more insecurity. However, there are signs of hope with Europe and Asia turning out to be bigger clients for the Indian IT companies like Tata Consultancy, Infosys Technologies, Wipro and Satyam Computer, thus reducing its dependency on the crisis inflicted U.S.
Though the reaction to the IT insecurity has come off late, but parents of to-be-bride have always been controlled by the urge to select grooms with stability and high salary. Infact they didnot even consider new entrepreneurs as prospective grooms for their daughters.

"THE BEST" programmers. It's really a high
time that the Youth should realise what's the
hidden fire in them. Not just IT industry is
being hit hard, even many others fields are
affected badly. So, don't worry about
marriage...

10: I THINK MOST OF THE COMMENT FROM IT FRIENDS.
WHY BECAUSE ALL COMMENTS WERE IN OPPOSE. BUT
ITS NOT THE 100% RIGHT THINKING.. BUT MOST OF
THE PARENTS LIKE TO HANDOVER THE GIRL TO THE
PERSONS WHO ATTAINED THE TOP 4 NEEDS .
1.BASIC NEEDS (FOOD,CLOTH.SHELTER), 2. JOB
SECURITY 3.SOCIAL NEED ( LOVE ON PEOPLE),
4.SELF ESTEEM.

rather than economics determining whether its
right?

living in the 12th century mindset.

13: Its insane to completely change our
perception to a total community.I agree that
there had been a significant turbulence in
the global IT sector.But this doesn't mean
that the entire sector is going to stumble.If
we have a look at the intrusion of this IT
into our lives, its in all stands.It had
reached a sustainable point that its highly
impossible to imagine our day to day life
with out it.Also if we examine the recent
trend, more and more fields are taking the
advantage of this sector.So there is a lot of
growth promised in this sector.Every field is
bound to ups and downs.Its important to be
wary in this transition so that we can
minimize the damage instead of completely
leaving it and let it deteriorate further. We
had seen a similar crisis in the fall of
millenium that everyone in similar
anticipated a complete falloff.But in an
unprecedented fashion, the IT sector had
stabilized itself and had grown in an
extravagant fashion that it became the most
coveted across the globe.Many people from
established sectors made their way to this
lucrative field. We cannot deny these facts
and simply rule out that the sector is
insecure.Had it not been this sector, can we
imagine the fate of all those drawing bigger
checks today.Also the Indian economy is
receiving a significant inflow from various
streams like tax payers,direct foreign
investments from this sector.We can see a lot
of people whose lifestyle had been
significantly changed.We can also see many
and many finding their fortune in this.
So instead of reprimanding what had happened and further deteriorating the situation,its duty of everyone to take their initiatives to let this sustain and workout to be more stable and more promising as ever.

which market will be effected next

17: This is definitely not a good news. But as
the bride's parents they have to be assure
about their child's future. Selecting an IT
or Non IT guy doesn't make any sense. Cause
marriage made in heaven and destiny will take
us ultimately towards it.

Engginer we shoud analysis the things and
move further.

21: Needless analysis i think
there is no way of comparing the situation.
People should try and understand the basics, i mean to say that (for parents of Bride) being in an IT company is not the only criteria to marry their daughter. There are a lot of others which go unnoticed which are more important and relevant reasons.
Now they say that its not safe to marry a boy in IT sector sometime if in case the market gets stablized than they completely opposite statements coming out.
I think they need to get their basics right and than decide the right guy to marry their daughter. Mean that I am not an Non-IT gut who is commenting.
Regards For
Bride's Parents

22: Sad to know this is happening. Today it is IT
and tommorow it may happen to be steel
industry or some other sector. I don't
understand what is more important, Getting a
wrong guy with a right job or a right guy
not at the right job?

29: Like Laxman said, this should be a lesson for
the bride side parents. Because they are the
one having full control on these kinds of
vast changes.

30: I guess its a good lesson for all Parents who
are looking out for a IT employee. After the
IT it was so very difficult for others to get

prefering for a IT Damad.
