There is a contract opening at Apple Sunnyvale. Somehow, TCS/Infosys/Wipro is trying to fill this spot, yet these couldn't find a candidate for the last 3 months. You know why? These (TCS/Infosys/Wipro/etc) companies are trying to fill the spot with $55 per hour on 1099. Yet they need senior level candidates. I am like, you can't find a candidate with those rates. So, the story goes on: not enough qualified people. Tech labor is going the route of restaurant/construction industries: they are always people available for the rate you want to fill, but they are on H1B or some farm visa, illegal, etc.
