Surviving IT Industry..........Secret revealed

It's been more than an year in IT Industry, for me as a developer. In this period, most of my time was spent in learning. Honestly I was in bench/free Pool cooling my boots :-). It's difficult to spend 9.5 hrs at office when you are in free pool or bench. But there are a lots of way to clear the blues. For more details, Check my blog. No, I am not going to revise it again. It's about surviving IT Industry. So here are few tips :-

1. Your Manager is not GOD and he/she is not the one paying your salary. Never take shit from them. Show some attitude.
2. If you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, throw her/him out of your life before they do.
3. Learn to say NO.
4. Never take work to home irrespective of the load.
5. Never discuss office during hangout with friends.
6. Visit some place which is quiet and peaceful every alternate month.
7. Never make plans for weekends if you are in Project.
8. Never commit for a deadline if the project is of short duration.
9. Rent/Buy a room near to office location to minimize travelling time.
10. Always insist on e-mails for communication. (And save those for future references)
11. Never tell your weakness to your managers and collegues.
12. Never compare yourself with others. Very Important. Most of the time leads to inferiority complex.
13. Must find a way to relax yourself in stressfull situation. Never loose your temperature.
14. Always apply for leave in advance.
15. Always be ready to learn something new and creative. Doing same kind of work leads to boredom.

Very important thing, here i am not talking about just going to office and saving your day. This is about surviving IT Industry and walking out everyday with your hands held high.
