ParticipantPeople have been complaining about offshoring and H1B’s for as long as I can remember.

svelteParticipantI think you mean one person’s experience does not always explain the larger picture.
And esmith’s right. Age discrimination, H1Bs, recruiters, and offshoring are all IT complaints that date back to the mid to early 1990s.
This isn’t your parent’s workplace – most folks now switch careers several times before they retire. If you’re unhappy with your career, pick a new one.
[quote=paramount]No, that’s not the issue – let me see…
*Over 40? Can be very difficult to find work in IT
*Offshoring
*H1B’s and L1’s
*The industry has been hijacked by recruiters
*Brutal competition for jobs (in general)
*According to Gartner an overall hiring downtrend in the years to come in ITOne person’s experience does always explain the larger picture.

ParticipantYes, I did mean *not* – sorry.
svelte: I think you must be nearly clueless when you make statements like “people change careers several times” and “pick a new one”.
When someone is young with minimal responsibilities that might not be hard to do; however when one is in their 40’s with a family, a mortgage, etc…it’s another story.
And most career changes result in lower salaries.
And no, esmith is not right.
