Switching Jobs ...

Everyone is talking of recession, right from top honchos to the person at the bottom of the pyramid. But ,I have my doubts as to how much of what we are seeing is the effect of recession in reality. Everything is being blamed on recession , in fact companies are cutting down on expenses and some of these expenses were frivolous to begin with. This is probably the worst time to think of a job-switch, but then sometimes one has to do it.But it always pays to do some groundwork before joining any company.What a company may project might not be the real picture. For instance one of my friend left GSK(Glaxosmithkline) to join Nokia , a good move everyone thought but soon he found that the job-profile was not what he was looking for and within a few months he had to quit Nokia and join another company.
I came across this new site "www.talentequity.in" which offers something which any employee would like to know about a company he/she wishes to join.The information is as authentic as it gets as it is based on reviews done by employees already working in those organisations.Well,there is always an element of risk while switching jobs but if one can get some reliable information as to how is the work culture, performance appraisal criterions,compensation packages etc. from an insider ,then nothing like it.This is where this site "http://www.talentequity.in" plans to help the job-seekers in finding a good match.In case you are not planning for a job-switch ,still you can make a positive contribution by disclosing some information about your company and work conditions and equations with superiors.It goes without saying that all this can be done in the comfort of anonymity.Log in to find out :)

given the corporate or the private sector culture job switching is part of the game and in fact has been advised by many of the top brass themselves. but as abhishek said it is very important to first do a base line study before jumping out of the suit.but you can always take a calculated risk..after all what is the fun without a little bit of risk? or am i being too adventurous?
