I have been through some messages in rediff reg the TCS Salary cut. I have also been through some reputed newspapers today wherein some the tope IT companies have stated that they dont find any reason for a salary cut. Since TCS pays the variable pay in advance and when the targets are not met, they are now trying to compensate for this by slashing the salary. Yes there has been some inflation in this sector for which the common man has also been affected. However after having worked in both IT and non IT sector, I feel that the guys in IT sector have to slog out much more than their peers in the Non IT sector. Non wonder, in IT the average retirement age is much lesser than their peers in non IT sector. People cannnot take the stress for a very long period too. Not to hurt anyone, but in Non IT you are not working under so much stress as in IT. Hence one should not feel bad if the IT guys are paid a little more.

I am sorry Sanjeev...I and my friends working in Aircraft Engine design in Rolls-Royce...When compare to IT field we are getting less pay. Our jobs is really tough for doing calculations. I had experience in software company too. Please don't say Non-IT people having less stress than IT people.

I always wonder combination of engineering and IT should be beneficial and command higher salary. But it appears that they are getting less.
