Depends on where you live and how much you ask for.
There are entire deserts where there isn't a tech company in a hundred miles around.
Even in the most active tech hub, it may be difficult to find a new job, assuming you care about things like work hours, health coverage or a moderate commute.
- ryandrake 9y agoEven in areas seen as having many employment opportunities, the employers can be very picky, and their criteria are often arbitrary and opaque. I think even on the Bay Area, companies are more picky about who they hire than candidates are picky about what company they join.
- user5994461 9y agoCompanies usually want people who are cheap, malleable and competent enough. That's a safe profile. I couldn't agree more on companies being picky. My wife interviewed for a company last year, they said that they interviewed more than a hundred candidate so far in the year and they didn't hire anyone. It's fair to say that they are not recruiting for real.
