Arrange marriages are quite a big affair in India because sometimes not just relatives but neighbours and family friends are also involved in finding bride/groom for the potential candidate. However, things have changed a little bit as nowadays many people prefer to give advertisements in newspapers and also like to search for life partner on matrimonial sites. While matrimonial sites give a number of options to seekers to refine their search, there is a limit of words in matrimonial sites and people have to specify their choices in selected words.
There was a time when software engineers used to be the first choice of girls in regard to marriage as they not only earn good but there used to be a good chance of going overseas as well. However if we go by a matrimonial ad given in a newspaper, it seems that the times have changed and software engineers are not that much in demand these days.
A Twitter user has posted a screenshot of a matrimonial ad in which a fair MBA beautiful girl from the family business background is searching for a groom who should be either IAS/IPS, working Doctor (PG) or Industrialist/Businessman from the same caste; however, there is a line for software engineers too as per which they are requested not to call.
Check out the ad:
The Twitter user posted the screenshot of the ad with the caption, “Future of IT does not look so sound.”

Don't worry..Engineers don't rely on some newspaper ad. They find everything on their own.

If you are a software engineer, what is your reaction?
