Imposing fees on interns represents a new and unethical low for the software industry, although it's crucial to acknowledge that not all companies engage in such practices. This disturbing trend highlights a significant gap between academic preparation and industry expectations. Universities must examine why their graduates feel compelled to pay for additional training after completing their degrees, as this suggests a serious shortfall in the education provided.

Unfair Practices in the Software Industry: A Call for Change As someone who's passionate about fostering talent and growth in the tech industry, I'm compelled to speak out against a disturbing trend that's gaining momentum. Some software houses are exploiting fresh graduates by charging them fees for "internship" opportunities. Yes, you read that right - they're taking money from young professionals who are eager to learn and gain experience. It wasn't always this way. I remember a time when software houses would pay stipends to interns, recognizing the value they brought to the organization. But now, it seems like greed has taken over. Unpaid internships are bad enough, but charging fees takes it to a whole new level. It's unacceptable and unfair to profit from someone's eagerness to learn and grow. Let's stand together and call out these software houses for their exploitative practices. We need to promote a culture that values and supports young professionals, not takes advantage of them. Share your thoughts and let's spark a conversation. Together, we can create a more equitable and sustainable industry for all. #FairnessInTech #SupportYoungTalent #NoToExploitation

🚨 Hiring Alert!!! ❌ Salary Negotiable! ❌ Unpaid Internship! ❌ Salary 30k with 3-5 years of experience! ❌ Salary 20k with 2 years of experience! – Blah blah… "Say NO to Unpaid Jobs!" One of the biggest reasons the software industry is losing its value is due to the lack of proper salary structures. We need to bring back the premium standards of this field! I remember when the term "Software Engineer" was synonymous with high salaries. But now, internships offer as little as 2-3k BDT, and full-time roles start at 10-12k. This is unacceptable for a growing industry. Even worse—many positions are unpaid! 😐😐 It’s time to stand up for fair pay! Let’s refuse jobs without clear salary ranges. Internships should start at 10,000 BDT, and junior roles at 25,000 BDT. Together, we can demand better standards for our industry. #SayNoToUnpaidWork 🚫💼 #FairPayInTech 💰 #TechSalaryTransparency 📊 #SoftwareJobs 👨💻👩💻 #RespectForEngineers 🙌 #TechIndustry 🌐
