I know very well from trying to hire decent comp-sci graduates in the UK that it's very difficult right now. They're either very poor candidates, or they're being snapped up on very high salaries. If you're a good comp-sci graduate right now I would say that things are looking great.
- kolektiv 16y agoSorry, I am just going to reply to myself with a slightly contrarian viewpoint - as the article points out, low skilled jobs are being outsourced. This might make it more likely that it's graduate jobs being replaced with offshore/outsourcing, in which case we'll be left with the classic "foot on the ladder" problem. Saying that, it's not my experience that this is having a noticeable impact, for what personal experience is worth.
- gaius 16y agoThe cold hard truth is that the rest of the UK gets the developers unwilling or unable to work for organizations that pay what the City pays. While that may be unfortunate for other, equally worthwhile industries, it's hard for me to say that that's a bad thing for the individuals concerned.
