Stability is a pipedream in our industry. If you are good in you area, you should not have trouble landing a job in any of the large software companies in Pune/Bangalore. If you are okay relocating to Bangalore, drop me an email at neeleshs at gmail.

I think the first thing to do is to stop worrying overly much. You have enough funds for 2 years? You are not broke. You have plenty of time to learn and/or find another job, take your time. Find folks in whatever area you are interested in and find out which fields are in demand.

1. Learn the Java syntax; go through some hello world tutorials and then some OSS code to guide your way. 2. Read http://java.sun.com/docs/books/effective/ 3. Recite one of the lessons you learned from #2 and impress the interviewer so that you can land that first job. 4. Become a decent programmer (this step is optional but recommended for long-term security)

Sad but true, too many people seem to get through coasting and never working on their craft. What really gets me is the lack of passion for it, I got into programming for the love of coding, money is a happy side effect. Too many I have seen don't seem to care, or are too lazy to improve.
