Easiest way to join a big company?

My suggestion is, join a smaller one(tier 2 company) and stay there for sometime :) It’s only a matter of time before it gets acquired by a giant :) This holds true atleast in India.

Recent acquisitions:

Covansys acquired by CSC
Mphasis acquired by EDS
Kanbay acquired by Cap Gemini
I-flex is very much an Oracle company now.

Earlier i worked for Accurum which was in turn acquired by Kanbay :)

I read somewhere that Accenture is consciously staying away from M and A route. But I think it’s only a matter of time before they,along with IBM join the party.

There is a saying in Tamil which goes like “Raman Aandalum Ravanan Aaandalum enaoru kavalai illai”.
I couldn’t agree more. So long as I get the numbers credited properly in my bank a/c on the last working day of the month, i am not overly concerned :)

    Very true, but I am a techie business manager. So I should choose my company quite carefully. But I run my own business too. Which leaves me on the entrepreunerial route even if nothing clicks…

    in a small company, the work satisfaction, respect from employers, pay, everything is better :)
