Bangalore: "I have had enough of IT as a career," - This is the feeling that creeps into the thoughts of many professionals working in the information technology industry and it's spreading in a fast rhythm. Yes, IT is going through a phase of exciting growth which it has never experienced; however, there is an alarming number of professionals who feel that they have reached the saturation point in IT which doesn't excite them any longer. Despite the positive demand for outsourcing and offshoring and companies offering hefty pay packages, many consider quitting the field and switching over to something interesting and challenging. A short peek into major reasons behind this spreading trend:

The close deadlines, impossible targets, and escalating customer demands are beyond one's ability to manage at a time.
