I am working with a call center, but i have done BE in Computer Science. I would like to change my career and grow, am confused.So what do you guys think is the best, is it the call center job or the software job. If you choose one, please let know the reason why?

I would say software... Resaons are 1. I am into software and I simply like the way it is structured... 2. It is day shift... no night shifts unless really required... 3. You dont miss the world outside... You will still be part of it as you dont work in night shifts... 4. Gals will not be feeling insecure as there is no need to travel at odd hours in cabs if you are in software...

i really dont think girls are secured irrespective of shifts. Everywhere there is an harrassment at work. So just because you are a software engineer, doesnt mean people dont harass you. it always a big deal, you need to be brave that is all.

i think thats not true... Call center you get the better pay as well quick growth... in software you dont have a growth, but u can work for day shifts where you work for night shifts in Call center...

as far as my idea is concern, i would go for software development instead of call center, software development is creative and chalanging but i dont find any thing interesting in call center.

If you have qualifications in computer science then you should try for a career in that. Call Centre jobs can be poor quality. Is your call centre for call in India or for other countries? A lot of people in the U.K. have problems with foreign Call Centres as call centre staff do not have local knowledge which could be required for some queries to call centres, also foreign call centre staff may not understand the English Language to the same degree as local call centre staff do. I hope that whatever you choose turns out to be the right decision.

Becoming a software engineer is much better than working for a call Centre. Since the required qualification is there, all you need to get into reputed software company (even if the salary is less) to get your hands on the job which is more challenging than the call centre jobs which are monotonous. Also reputation wise, software jobs are better.

Yes call center is better than software field. I to completed my B-Tech and working as a trainee in a software company. Its difficult to work at this position. It takes of time to get in to the better position. But my friend who is working in a call center was in a better position than me. He says me to change my profession come to his field which would be better than mine. Now I was in a confusion weather to continue with the same profession or to change the track....

Hi, Go for software job. U can learn many things, U can come up well. In call center the same routine job & only thing is U will get high salary. In software field also U will get good salary & future will also be there.
