Hi,
I am currently in New Jersey, USA working for an India based MNC. I have 8 years of experience in Web Technologies and currently performing Project Management role. I am in US for the past two years. Could any of you suggest what is the average Salary in US for my Experience?. Any leads/thoughts regarding this is most welcome

Thanks.

Hi,
I am currently in US on a L1 visa, working for an India based IT services company with 9 years of experience. I would like to know, if American companies still sponsor H1 visa. I know that there are lot of consulting companies ready to sponsor H1 visa, but I want to join another company in US as an employee and not as a contractor. Any ideas/thoughts regarding this is most welcome.

Thanks

Hi,
I need some piece of advice. I am working for one of the top 5 IT companies in India. I am working with this company for 6 years now and is my first job out of campus.
I started my career with VB, then moved on to C, C++ and now working in Java. I feel that it is time to look for other options as the growth for me in my company is becoming limited.

But being worked in multiple technologies, I am not sure whether this is an advantage or disadvantage to show case in my resume. This thought itself is holding me from applying for companies as I am not sure which skill set I should project (I have 2 years in VB, 3 years in C, C++ and 1 year in Java/J2EE) for in my resume. But I have good soft skills and have experience of directly dealing with clients across the geos and have worked at client sites in US and UK.

But most of the companies are asking for experience in a particular skill set for a particular number of years. Will I be getting a job that fits my total experience( like PL or TL etc) in any MNC's or other big Indian IT companies irrespective of me being worked in different technologies throughout my career. If so what

I hope to get some valuable advice from fellow members on this. I am not sure whether I am the one who is having this problem or is this prevalent across all companies.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
I need some piece of advice. I am working for one of the top 5 IT companies in India. I am working with this company for 6 years now and is my first job out of campus.
I started my career with VB, then moved on to C, C++ and now working in Java. I was expecting a PL promotion during this year, but was not given the promotion this year.

I feel that it is time to look for other options as I feel that I deserve the promotion after giving my best for the company by being flexible enough to work on any technology the company asked me to work on and have managed to do it successfully without any issues so far.

But being worked in multiple technologies, I am not sure whether this is an advantage or disadvantage to show case in my resume. This thought itself is holding me from applying for companies as I am not sure which skill set I should project (I have 2 years in VB, 3 years in C, C++ and 1 year in Java/J2EE) for in my resume.

Hi,
I have checked the port as well as the Proxy settings. Everything is fine.
But still I am getting the page not found error. Is there anything I need
to do with respect to the browser settings ( I am using IE 5.0).

Let me know.

Thanks,
Siva

Hi,
I have started Tomcat (Jakarta-Tomcat 5.0.19) in Windows 2000 and it starts and runs fine( port 8085). But when I try to access the Tomcat home page
with http://localhost:8085/, I am getting page not found error.
I even tried by giving http://127.0.0.1:8085, this also doesnt work either.

Could anyone of you let me know how to solve this problem.

Thanks in Advance,
Siva

Hi,
I just got the Head First Servlets and JSP book, Indian edition
from Computer bookshop (www.cb-india.com). They are offering it at 15% discount.

I got it delivered (at Chennai), the next day I ordered.
The book is great.

Cheers,
Siva

Yes they dont bill in INR, but you can use any international credit card to order from them. I have ordered from them and the expected date of
delivery in india, amazon has given me is August 12, 2004.

Megha,
The receipt from the centre(from which you are planning to write the
exam) with the Exam code, date and time are enough for you to appear for the exam. This is what I also got from NIIT after registering for the exam. But dont forget to take a valid ID card to the centre on the
date of the exam.

Best wishes,
Siva

Given an Example like this

class A {
void method() {
System.out.println("A");
}
}

class B extends A{
void method() {
System.out.println("B");
}
}

class Mock1 {
public static void main(String [] args) {
B b = new B();
A c = (A) new B();
c.method();
}
}

The output I got is B.

But inside the main() method if i have a code like this,
B b = new B();
A c = (B) new A();
c.method();

This code compiles fine, but I am getting a java.lang.ClassCastException when I try to run this code.

Can anyone explain this behaviour.
Thanks in advance.
