I’ll say again – Unionize IT workers and never deal with 3rd party recruiters.

Based on my experience, dealing with 3rd party recruiters is a complete waste of time.

Recruiters are like Realtors of the IT world – bottom feeders that will suck the life out of you among other things.

I’d rather stand in an unemployment line than deal with an IT recruiter.

I would urge anyone that works in a mid to large sized company to read “Corporate Confidential”.

Or just review some of the comments at Amazon:

It might help you keep your job…

“Do what you enjoy and it will all work out” – another load of s. If life were only that easy.

You do what pays the bills, and hopefully it happens to be something you enjoy. For most people, that’s the way things work.

Also, eclipxe, I wish I lived in your ideal world. IT is a moving target and skill requirements change and often rapidly – it often comes down to more than “GOOD” and “PRIDE” and all of that other BS your spouting – those subjective ideals alone will not guarantee that anyone is in demand.

As far as age discrimination is concerned, your comments have no value IMO as I suspect you don’t have a clue or have never been a victim of age discrimnation.

When you are 48 and get laid off from an IT job where you were making 6 figures then you might get the idea. Then maybe you won’t be so arrogant.

What do I recommend for alternate careers? That depends on the person, but there are many options from Trucking to the Medical Profession to name but two.

Also, the notion that if your “good” and holistic you’ll have no problems getting a job is an over simplification and a load of s.

For one thing, IT (software or not) has a lot of age discrimination – once your over 40 finding a job becomes much more difficult (particularly in IT).

Also, I no longer consider IT a “career” like perhaps a teacher where in general years of service is actually appreciated.

IT SUCKS!!!
