Bangalore = IT hub and not others

This is from my personal experience, which I have faced last year and now, I am facing it yet another time! When the word "Bangalore/Bengaluru" is popped up, the instant response that comes is the IT Capital / Silicon Valley of India. True, it has lived to this word and will continue to be the top IT destination in the country. But what about non-IT folks? Was this IT there when the city came on India map? How about job options for non-IT related people? The truth is, non-IT jobs are so less in this city that you have to struggle a lot to get one of them. In my case, the job I am searching is for my wife, who is a PG in Microbiology field, which puts her totally into Science field and no IT is involved! Last year, when she was fresher, finding job was so difficult for her that it took nearly 2 months to get into a Pharma company, that too with lot of struggle and with the help of a so-called 'Consultant'. The way those companies work is pathetic, just like our government where to move a file from one table to another, it takes days!! Believe me, this is what is the real truth! At one point of time, I had to talk to the HR and then after couple of interactions and requests, they finally managed to take in my wife. Now, the worst part is of the Compensation/Salary - for a PG itself, it is so less that one cannot imagine to survive with that income, especially in a metro like Bangalore, where cost of living is going up crazy! :-(( Things were going fine till I took up Dubai assignment and she had to leave that job since they denied her 3-4 months break. Coming back from Dubai now, we are now bearing the brunt again of searching for a job. We have sent the profile to so many companies but none of them respond back! This is the worst part!! When we call up HR, they say send the profile to so and so id, and when done, no response! Just keep on waiting and waiting... Now also, somehow she got thru an Interview in a MNC pharma company and its been nearly 2weeks but still they are yet to process and issue her a offer letter. When we call up HR, they say its under processing!! I dont see any professional approach in these companies at all...and the worst hit are honest people like we who look forward for a call to change our life...and keep our faith on god and believe him/her to grant us good life with peace. Overall, now the world and namma Bengaluru has turned so that if you belong to IT, then you have a job else you just pray god that someday or the other, you will get a peanuts paying job...
