E-commerce companies Require skills for higher salaries
NEW DELHI:Industry experts, however, rule out a mass migration from the services sector immediately -- even if e-commerce companies are emerging as bigger pay masters -- mainly because of the advanced skill-sets in demand at the new firms.
"The kind of people e-commerce (firms) are looking for are not easily available in the service-based IT sector," said Alka Dhingra, regional manager at hiring firm TeamLease Services, which conducted the study. "They are looking for people mostly from product-based companies, and are willing to pay more for people working on new technology and tools because these people are scarce resources."
Vice presidents and chief marketing officers with 18-20 years' experience at IT service companies such as Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys are paid Rs 70 lakh to Rs 1.5 crore a year, and mid-level executives such as project managers Rs 15-25 lakh a year, according to TeamLease data.
At e-commerce companies such as Snapdeal and ShopClues, the annual compensation for senior executives reaches Rs 1.5-3 crore, while midlevel employees with eight to 14 years' experience can earn Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1.5 crore a year.
The pay scales have leaped since 2013, when senior executives at IT companies earned Rs 55-75 lakh a year and middle-level employees at e-commerce companies got Rs 35 lakh to Rs 50 lakh.
"This trend is more pronounced for coveted positions within the e-commerce companies," said a spokesperson for software industry body Nasscom. "Right now the IT companies are not very stressed on this trend because they have optimized their models."

"Right now the IT companies are not very stressed on this trend because they have optimized their models."
"Indeed, the skill sets commanding high salaries at ecommerce companies are relatively new -- analytics, big data, data structuring, Python programming language, DevOps, Hadoop, user interface and mobility. Many of these are increasingly becoming important in the traditional IT services sector as well."
"E-commerce companies have very small core teams, and the kind of people they need are very different from the IT services companies," said Anuraag Gupta, chief executive officer of staffing company Magna Infotech. "They would not in the long run create an army of coders, testers, etc., and may eventually outsource work to the IT service sector, keeping the core technology team small."
India's digital commerce market is expected to grow 33% this year to about Rs 1 lakh crore, up from Rs 81,525 crore at the end of December, according to industry body Internet & Mobile Association of India.
IT services firms, on the other hand, have matured over the years and the industry is expected to grow at 12-14% this year, according to Nasscom.

teaching more engaging and productive.
In Silicon Valley Employee has No time to eat, drinks are there meals.
AN FRANCISCO: Every night, Aaron Melocik, a software developer, follows a precise food routine. He blends together half a gallon of water, three and a half tablespoons of macadamia nut oil and a 16-ounce bag of powder called Schmoylent. Then he pours the beige beverage into jars and chills them before bringing the containers to work the next day at Metrodigi, an education technology start-up.
At the office, Melocik stashes one Schmoylent jar in the refrigerator and takes the other to his desk. From 6.30am to 3.30pm, he sips from the first jar for breakfast, and the second for lunch. He consumes about 14 fluid ounces of Schmoylent each day so he can focus on coding instead of grabbing a bite to eat. "It just removes food completely from my morning equation up until about 7pm," said Melocik, 34, who has been following his techie diet since February.
Boom times in Silicon Valley call for hard work, and hard work - at least in technology land - means that coders, engineers and venture capitalists are turning to liquid meals with names like Schmoylent, Soylent, Schmilk and People Chow. The protein-packed products that come in powder form are inexpensive and quick and easy to make - just shake with water, or in the case of Schmilk, milk. While athletes and dieters have been drinking their dinner for years, Silicon Valley's workers are now increasingly chugging their meals, too, so they can more quickly get back to their computer work.
Demand for some of the powdered drinks, which typically mix nutrients like magnesium, zinc and vitamins, is so high that some engineers report being put on waiting lists of one to six months to receive their first orders. And the drinks are taking off across techie social circles. Venture capitalists have also poured money into the companies that offer the meal replacements, and investors including Alexis Ohanian, a founder of Reddit, count themselves as fans of the drinks.
"My dream would be if I could just pick up some at the airport, pre-made in the refrigerator section," said Ohanian, who invested in Soylent and treats the drink as a fallback meal. The entrepreneur says he will whip up a batch of Soylent and sip it the whole day when he is too lazy to make something to eat.
In March, the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz served Soylent-inis and Soylent Whites at a cocktail event in Austin. Some members of the firm, which has invested in Soylent, have even gone on a Soylent cleanse, drinking only the liquid for several days, said Chris Dixon, an Andreessen Horowitz partner.
Other coders are customizing the meal replacements to social occasions. On a Saturday evening, Pulak "Potluck" Mittal, a 23-year-old software engineer, hosted a dinner party for half a dozen techie friends. On the menu were pad thai noodles and a side dish of Soylent.
Soylent's success has created opportunity for imitators, who are mixing and marketing their own powders. Alex C Snyder , known on internet forums as "Axcho," quit his job at the software company Linden Lab last August to sell his own variants of Soylent, like Schmoylent and Schmilk. Many of his repeat customers work in technology.
Soylent, Schmilk typically taste like bland, gritty pancake batter. But never mind that, since the meal replacements save techies money and time. While a meal generally costs upward of $50 at Silicon Valley-area restaurants, a week's worth of Soylent totals $85.
The time wasted by eating is, in Silicon Valley parlance, a "pain point" even for the highest echelon of techie. Elon Musk, Tesla's founder, once said, "If there was a way that I couldn't eat so I could work more, I would not eat. I wish there was a way to get nutrients without sitting down for a meal," according to a new book on the entrepreneur, written by Ashlee Vance.

TIPS FOR STUDYING SMARTER
Boning up for a work course or a school test? Trying to learn a new skill? Cramming late, devoting a whole day to nothing but bio, reading that training manual 20 times?
You’re doing it wrong. So very, very wrong.
Nailing the art of studying right can be a scientific task. Two professors — Henry Roediger and Mark McDaniel at the Washington University in St. Louis — and author Peter Brown condensed the best study knowledge, based on scientific papers published over the past few years, in a new book, Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning. Roediger distilled his 6 top tips for successful learning. We’re talking the best ways to retrain new knowledge for the long haul.
Pull up a seat, and start taking notes.
1. Take those notes by hand. That’s right: Go Luddite. In a board meeting or a freshman survey hall, think pen and paper. ”When typing, students tend to record information as though they were taking dictation,” Roediger says. Handwriting is slower, ”so they have to think harder about the material to distill it,” he says, discussing a study just published this April. So yes, it might seem painful to put pen to paper in class, but you’ll save study time in the end.
2. Don’t study — practice. Stop re-reading the same passage 20 times. Searching your brain for what you’re trying to remember keeps things fresher. In one of Roediger’s own studies, subjects who took a test were more likely to do better on a subsequent test then those who studied. It’s not just about remembering the information, but using the brain muscles to practice retrieving the information too. That’s what a test — and real life — requires of us.
3. Pace yourself. Cramming puts a lot of info your head, fast, but it also leads to fast forgetting. “Spacing helps embed learning in long-term memory,” Roediger says.
4. Sleep on it. If you never want to think about conjugating French verbs again, pull an all-nighter before a test. But if you’ve got info you want to keep for the long haul, plan some zzz’s. Your brain needs time to catch up and process all you’ve stuffed in there. Sleep is when it happens.
5. Multi-task subjects. Maybe you’ve got finals this week in history, bio and psych. Yuck. If you’ve only got three days to study, don’t tackle just one subject a day, Roediger says. Devote a bit of time every day to each of the subjects, and you’re more likely to ace those tests. Roediger cites a 2012 study that says we’re more likely to confuse similar things when studied together — like if you’re trying to cram on the differences between four kinds of biological processes that all kind of sound the same — than if we break the biology up a bit with something else.
6. Test yourself. These are the professor’s words, not ours. ”Make up practice tests and take them repeatedly as you study,” he says. This goes back to tip No. 2 — finding ways to pull things from your mind. Plus, this way, you’ll learn what you need to work on.

internship at Facebook is really like
Elizabeth
Gregory, a former product design intern, says working at Facebook is
like joining a "coalition of startups." You hardly notice you're one of
thousands of employees.
In some ways, Facebook's Menlo Park campus feels like Disney World, with lots of shops and people everywhere.
But it's not all about the cool bonuses: Facebook treats its interns like full-time employees, which means it also expects you to work like a full-time employee.
Interns work on real projects that are on Facebook's roadmap -- not busy work designated for interns.
Hyla Wallis, Facebook's university operations lead, said the company views internships as an evaluation programme of sorts.
"(It's) an opportunity for us to get to know our interns and for our interns to get to know us," she told us.
Three former Facebook interns told us what it's really like to temporarily join the biggest social network in the world -- an internship that career site Glassdoor says is its highest rated this year.
It's also one of the highest-paying gigs a college student can land. Facebook interns get paid about $5,600 per month on average. That's $25,000+ more than the average US citizen.

Facebook
gives interns a lot of responsibility and independence. Elizabeth
Gregory is a former product design intern who worked for Facebook last
summer.
She says working at Facebook is like joining a "coalition of startups." You hardly notice you're one of thousands of employees.
"Each team is working hard on a particular project, and it doesn't really feel that big," she said.
Patricia McKenzie, a recently-hired software engineer who interned at Facebook last summer, agrees. She used to book conference rooms and share them with five other interns to collaborate even when they'd been given different assignments.
"It's a really open work environment," she said.
"I worked harder than I ever had before," another former intern said of his time at Facebook.
While Facebook might not feel large from a team perspective, its Menlo Park campus is expansive. It's decked out with bike lanes, cafeterias, coffee shops, ice cream parlors and barbers.
"It totally felt like a college campus on steroids," she said. "But it was so much more fun and well kept."
"They had a bartender come in and make cocktails"
As much as Facebook prioritizes work, it encourages fun, too.
McKenzie, who interned in Facebook's Seattle office, said that she's still friends with a lot of the people she worked with last summer. There's a Facebook group for those who work in Facebook's Seattle office called "Seattle Social," where employees post open invitations for events.
Facebook organizes its own community-building activities, too. One former intern referenced an outing to a baseball game, and McKenzie described her experience playing dodgeball in a company tournament.
"I was able to be on a dodgeball team with my manager, and I don't think a lot of other people can say that," McKenzie said.
Facebook also offers free meals for interns and employees daily, possibly the internships greatest perk. The company brings in bartenders for special happy hour celebrations on Thursdays.
"Every Thursday they had cocktail time," one intern said.
"Mark Zuckerberg had a desk that looked exactly like mine"
Facebook's billionaire CEO Mark Zuckerberg doesn't hide away in a luxurious office during the work day. He sits with other Facebook employees and kindly greets workers -- interns included.
"Mark Zuckerberg has a desk that looked exactly like mine," Gregory said. "Same computer, same everything, so that was really nice... He was a really nice guy, and he always said hi to me walking around even if he didn't know exactly who I was."
As an intern, Gregory said she got to sit in on a meeting with Zuckerberg.
"I was just observing, but it was cool to see what Zuck was like," she said. "It was very intense because he just spews wisdom at you."
In addition to the weekly Q&A meetings on Friday, where Zuckerberg and other executives hold town halls to address employee questions, female interns got to attend a special meeting with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg.
"All the female interns got to meet Sheryl and talk to her," McKenzie said. "She gave this presentation with a few other female managers and engineers about not just being a woman in tech, but it any field that's underrepresented."
What Facebook looks for in its interns
Internships at companies like Facebook are competitive and selective, but Wallis says the company generally looks for candidates that can "tackle really hard problems." If you're applying for a software engineering internship, experience participating in hackathons is a bonus.
"If they can display things that they've been working on over time, like apps, those are the things that we'd want to see."
And, previous experience isn't always the most important thing.
"(We) definitely look for the skills that they have maybe more so than some of the experiences they have," she said.
