Sample Answer:

I love travelling, reading and writing. So, if ever I get a chance to switch my career from an IT professional it would definitely be of a traveler. I want to be the person who travels a lot, makes memories, meet lot of people and then write about it. My story has lot of stories in it and lot of characters and emotions. I wish, if ever I write story about myself, it be of lot of colors, experiences and moments.

Travelling involves basically travelling to lot of new places, exploring it and meeting new people. It is about getting to know about new cultures and new ideas. There are so many stories of our country that are hidden in the hearts of people and these are the stories that I want to explore. I wish that someday I am able to show the world the true India.

There is no particular reason why I chose it, it was neither for money nor for fame. The only reason that I want to travel all around the world is because I want to know people and their stories and what they feel about things. I just love it. You know when people express their fears, their joys, their emotions. It is so much more exciting. And then when you visit a new place, there is so much promising in it. You get to know about the history of the place and for some reasons the present starts making so much more sense when you know about your past.

Even more, it gives you that feeling of freedom. So, you are not associated with a particular job and there is no boss. You are your own boss, you need not to listen to anyone but your heart and it is very exciting for me. To do things, not because you are told to do them, but because you feel like doing them. There is no rationals behind them, anymore. It is so much more of heart and so much more fulfilling.

What is the most famous sector in your country?

Most of the people in my country are associated with Information technology. So, you would find lot of software engineers in my country. Apart from them, there are people who prefer banking sector or may be the teaching sector. However, in the recent times there has been a substantial change in the way people make career choices. Now, we find lot of people interested in going to photography or making a career out of writing and it is amazing. Because there are so many more creative heads out there.

Do you think people in your country are paid according to the work they do?

Well, for the most part I think people in my country are paid less when compared to the ones of foreign countries. People out here are much more talented but when it comes to salary, often people work at less wages and stressful days. It, I believe, is one of the major reason why people prefer going to companies that offer onsite opportunities or may be after some time start working for biggies that offer much more salary.
