Qualcomm advertised 774 jobs in San Diego County in May, the most of any local employer, according to a survey by the state Economic Development Department.

So it may not come as a surprise that the most advertised kind of job was in computer software engineers and applications, with 1,495. Registered nurses was second with 1,302. Retail sales was third with 1,213.

Here is an interesting one:

“University of California, San Diego – 369 jobs – in fields such as accounting, development, human resources, and legal.”

Based on what I had been reading I thought by now UC system was on the brink of annihilation due to savage budget cuts!

Also interesting to see that teaching/research does not figure in the description of the job openings …

Sadly, the pencil pushers and HR parasites tend to figure out ways to stay relevant after everyone else is gone.

I have friends at QC. Depending on the department – it can be a nice place to work, or brutal. I heard there was a second suicide there recently.

One friend loves it there. He’s been promoted fairly frequently, has a good group he manages, rarely works weekends. Another friend is pressured to put in massive hours and complains he never sees his kids anymore… he’s actively looking to exit the q.

This is why I’ve been freelance for the past 5 years and planning to buy rental property for a steady base income.

If I had to work 8-6+ with two weeks of vacay per year, I’d probably break my boss’s nose in short order.
