So true for the IT professionals.. fortunately I am working in a good mnc, but the worth of an IT professional is constantly on reduce.. the quality of work Indian devs are made to do is not par with the talent we people have.. and guys who are even doing well are not being paid well..
Switching too is always a challenge...

I too have many friends who still are working on below average salaries and some didnt get the right kind of job in the domain they wanted - a sad reality right now
