“Outside Wipro’s Kolkata office during walk-in. 10000+ applicants for some jobs! Job market isn’t that easy it seems.

“18 years ago I attended a walk-in by TCS where there were ~15,000 applicants for 300 odd roles on offer. I guess only the past few years have been easy due to the boom in IT jobs. Everything goes through a cycle,” recalled a Twitter user. Another person mentioned, “And people will criticise startups when they provide jobs. We need more startups, than big corporates. Risk capital has to be deployed, so that we can provide opportunity to many. SMEs are the way forward, has been and will be.”
