In my small town I'm trying to find a junior sysadmin/network admin job but 99.8% of the jobs are developers. I say nay to the news people leaving in fact they seem to be hiring!
And anytime I see news about Canada it seems Waterloo is mentioned making amazing things, quantum radar was the last story I read about.
- dkasper 9y agoThink you've got it backward. It's not that there aren't jobs in tech in Canada, it's that the people who could fill them are leaving.
- dghughes 9y agoOh I understand that but from my perspective my small city of 70,000 seems to have a really vibrant developer scene. Each year it seems to grow more it's nice to see such a different industry do so well here. Twenty years ago jobs here would have been food service or blue collar jobs like farming, fishing, welding. Now there are people coming here to work many are not locals which is also great they bring a new perspective on the world. There wasn't even an official computer science program at the local University until roughly the mid 90s. I made an attempt at a CS degree in the early 2000s and the assistant prof (my age!) said he had to leave to get his CS degree at another Uni.
