Tech Recruiter here in Chicago. It depends on the field/tech stack. Looking for a Windows DevOps engineer? Good luck. Need a senior .net developer? No problem. Enterprise .net and java have been in chicago forever so there are plenty of developers. Mobile, Automated QA, DevOps, even Ruby developers are all a lot more difficult to find here. I think that's quickly changing though. I've helped two guys from Florida and another from Nashville relocate here this year. Those type of people hit the ceiling in their smallish tech community and gravitate to a legitimize tech hub like Chicago. Edit: I'll add a self promotional bit here... I read hackernews on my own for fun but I am a tech recruiter in Chicago. I am confidant that I cant help almost any 2-8 year software developer looking for 80K-120K find a new job. I don't code but I can promise you I am better than most the recruiters that message you every day. If you are interested in chatting, even if you are not looking right now, i'd love to talk.
