Our experience tells us that an average IT professional carries with him/her several career questions that remain unanswered; sometimes, these lead to wrong career moves, “ said Subroto Bagchi, adding, “addressing their questions through a neutral platform will help the IT professionals see the issues in proper perspective.”
