[quote=Rich Toscano][quote=mixxalot]H1b and outsourcing of STEM engineering jobs to India and China has severely impacted American engineers! That is fact which you cannot deny. In USA and Europe, there are still good jobs but not that many.[/quote]
That’s doesn’t seem to be the case in software, from my observation. Everyone I know in the software tech industry is desperately trying to find good people to hire… there are more job openings than there are qualified candidates.[/quote]
In San Diego at least there has been a shortage of senior IOS and Android developers. There are also a handful of startups trying to do the same thing. The complaint from recruiters is my company has poached most of them already from other places locally, lol.
The bigger problem is that you’ve got a lot of talent from large employers like Qualcomm, but a lot of them though can only do embedded software, have not done any mobile software. So it’s hard for those folks, to cross over and fill the skills gap unless they have invested the time to do it themselves. Same could be said for IT backend developers and vice versus.
We hired a recruiting agency to hire contractors, and one of the buffoon contractors cold called people at my company asking if they would like to be a contractor to work on a project at my company. Lol.
