IT Professional Highlights Impact of Family Commitments on Career Visibility in India

An IT professional with 13 years of experience shared on Reddit that in India's corporate sector, employees who remain constantly available, including late-night emails, tend to gain more visibility and recognition. After marriage and parenthood, he prioritized family time, which he believes affected how senior management perceives his dedication, especially as many leaders are unmarried or without children. He noted this perception influences performance reviews, highlighting a workplace culture valuing availability over productivity.
