Author here, true, software jobs are a bit extra weird around here. I think it's because companies are run more "traditionally" here. Meaning that the people running the company are usually managers. They have a business background and don't understand what most engineers want and how they think. Even many self-proclaimed "startups" (which are often just consulting shops) are run this way.
The cause for this might be that it's culturally pretty unusual to start a company around here. I'd say people are extremely risk-averse and starting a company is almost frowned upon.
- ChuckNorris89 8y agoIf the people running the companies have business backgrounds surely they understand the principles of supply and demand, no? They want FAANG like employees but only if they work for peanuts. Then they cry to the press they can't find skilled engineers. The same way I also can't find Ferraris, with a budget for a Hyundai.
