A Career is one

The story of Komisar and Kartikey contradict each other in a way.Komisar says that career is after all what you make it.This is absolutely acceptable.In both the cases its the individuals who decided to change the jobs which Komisar did and take a break from present job of marketing and engage self in some other like Kartikey.None of them kept themselves idle inspite of being discontent of the present job.Its always the individual who shapes his/her career and opportunities which helps them to do so.In my veiw Kartikey's decision is right to live a peaceful life may not be right with regards to his carreer.I am sure most of us will cherish to have such break from the cat race going on provided the person is not too much materialistic and money oriented.Its very much true that our lifes are too much mechanised and dictated by routine where human being will try to deviate at some point of time.What we notice now a days that job hops doesnt include mere salary hikes but seeks for places where a person can conveniently be in touch with friends and relatives.Komisar's jump to various fields may not meet conventional standards but it added to his knowledge and experience and that helped him in long run.
Its ok to have a change in job profile if we feel we have gained ample knowledge in that area or we can do better in the next venture which will help us anyways.Not only in the duo case many people dont like to be commanded,frequently scrutinized and interrupted the way they work.This one of the causewhy people keep changing jobs.Being at one place cant be said as incompetency.It has got its own pros and cons as has a slow carreer growth as in public sectors.Senario isdifferent in private sectors where performance plays vital role.These are very debatable topics.I think it could be a relevant example where mostly this present generation is practising including me.We are pursuing electronics,electrical or mechanical engineering as a carreer andjump into a management carreer even without having a feel of the engineering carreer.It depends on individuals how they cop with their decisions to have a growth.
Subrao Bagchi has rightly said that people leave managers not organization.I have many examples where my friends who work in different organizations have quit only because of the managers.The usual complain which i have noticed is the injustice done to their caliber,lack of recognisation of their delivered work,improper career paths defined for them and partial decisions by managers on the ground of linguistic community.Whereas these reasons can be well addressed by a manager.Even there are cases where associates departed from the team or organisation as the manager changed or they moved along with the managers.Besides other parameters for parting from an organization like Salary,location,job preferences,manager's role has got a major contribution.In our organization there are few managers who very well address the concerns of associates like relocation,domain preference,recognition,setting carreer development path where there a minimum rate of attrition as associates feel secured and can forsee the growth.I would say that influence of the parents,friends and colleagues even have an impact in carreer choices mostly for female associates.Due to family they have limited location preferences or can say no preference.In case they need to relocate to perform a higher role they sometimes cant due to lack of proper family support.Many a times people join the company where they have friends or ex colleagues.So though its finally the individual's decision but it carries the impact of surroundings.
