Hi Hrish,
You should say deeper in product based companies.
Well, the second point what you have mentioned makes sense.Self driven people are there in most of the companies,but small in number.

@Sanjay: Thanks for your views.
>>”You cannot gain good knowledge in services based company like how you gain in product based companies.”

It’s true that the amount of learning is far higher (or should I say deeper) in product based companies – and I suspect that this is mostly, but not solely, due to the environment that the developers work in. There must be a small number of people who are always self driven to learn and grow regardless of the environment.

Well, added a point to your discussion.

You cannot gain good knowledge in services based company like how you gain in product based companies.

Since most of the services based companies in India deal with the Maintenance projects. So, the scope of learning is less.
and they are time based tasks.

Yes, the innovation is still there.

I have one more point to share. In Interviews most people
asks about threads and thread pools.But once they clear the rounds and enter into the organization.How many are really implementing these concepts.

Might be you are providing a privilege for your employees to work on it, its great. But it’s not happening with most of the people.

I like your article. Keep Posting.
