Computer Programmer Job Vs Setting Up A Company

turbopowerdmaxsteel
Once again, I am looking at you guys for advice. The last time I did was when I joined this forum.

Having recently completed my graduation, I'm on the lookout for a job. I did get a PHP developer job but didn't join the company because it was extremely small and the workplace was a person's house. Also, the pay was extremely less, Rs. 3,500 (~70 USD) per month. 3,500 here in Kolkata is a lot more than what it is in Mumbai, Bangalore, etc. But still, it was very less.

I had a tiff with the people at the placement division because of this. I stated that the company was not fit enough to be called one; courtesy of the poor infrastructure. They didn't like my comments and told me to look for a job on my own. So, I have been trying through various job portals (Monster, TimesJobs, etc). All I have got until now were scams asking for money from myself. I was banking on an interview from my friend's company which is based in mumbai. But, the interview is still largely at bay. The thing is they only hire B-Techs and I am not one of them.

What I have, is a lot of experience (extra-curricularly - 3+ yrs) in developing .NET based applications on my website maxotek.net. I also learned Web development using (PHP, JavaScript, CSS - 2+yrs) while trying to setup this portal for my softwares. Its my firm belief that I deserve a better job, even during the time of recession. By better, I mean, the company should have a good system in place where I would be able to learn and not just work like a mule. Salary is not that important and I am ready to work for less pay, but in a good company. My earnings from maxotek will help me out on this one.

Despite the fight with the placement division, they are still trying to get me interviews in a good company. I am quite thankful to them for their gesture. Just a few days back, I was asked about my Core Java skills; to which I stated having learned it as part of our curriculum but having no real experience with projects. So, I wasn't sent for this interview. Before this though, I was asked if I was interested for a VB .NET developer job (pay 6K - 8K INR). I had said yes and was told that I would be called for the interview. Its been over 10 days now and that interview is no where to be seen.

Another option I have is that of setting up my own company. In fact, it is my ultimate goal. But, before I do that it would be better to learn how the corporate world works. Then there is the uncertainty about the availability of projects. A client of mine (from maxotek) says he will be able to provide projects of around 10K - 20K USD (with a little share in it for him). Its very lucrative but risky too. Once a network of satisfied users is set up, I believe there is a guarantee of sustenance. But, is it worth the risk, until then? What do you guys think?

    it weren't for preprogrammed games, we would run them from the DOS prompt. I guess it was
    pretty reliable, but the newer systems at the time were all for play, and my parents thought it was
    best to get some other usage out of it. We did a lot of Basic programming, but we used to play

    supply. I have an 800w rated UPS, which according to the paper is supposed to give me around 8
    minutes of power during a blackout. This is more of an issue than for most people, as here we have
    an average of 8 power cuts a day during the 8 or 9 months of summer weather. The problem is that my
    UPS doesn't really help any, because in a power cut it will go off as well for a second, and
    then it comes back to life, but in that second my computer has gone off, and even tho....

    Transmission Unit) for the most part seems to have a great effect on the speed of your internet
    connection from my experience. For different connection types, the MTU value varies, like for
    example: Dial Up the MTU would be 572 bytes, DSL(this depends) 1472/1500. Now, I'm using my
