Why do we need a union in a seller's market?
I think this is going to change soon (~10 years).
I have seen people with computer science masters degrees working in support positions. I’m not talking about maintenance development, I’m talking about tech support.
When I graduated there were maybe 5 people in my class, but now the market is starting to get flooded with CS people.
Everyone is hopping on the CS train like there is no tomorrow.
- kelnos 9y agoHaving a CS degree (at whatever level) does not even remotely guarantee success as a software developer.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoIt does drive down the cost of a business employing developers who don’t have to be rockstars, merely good enough.
- ng12 9y agoAs somebody who does a lot of interviews: I don't care about a master's degree. Anectodally it has a very low correlation with programming ability. The market being flooded with CS degrees doesn't scare me, I'll start getting scared when it takes less than 6 months to hire for an entry-level role.
- pasquinelli 9y agothe pickiness of employers isn't itself a sign you should start getting scared?
- ng12 9y agoThat's not pickiness of employers it's a lack of qualified candidates.
