What sort of jobs did Amazon have in mind for the locals in LIC (if any)? Were they considering providing tech training to hire them into software development roles? Or did they have in mind lower paying jobs? The bigger question is how can tech companies incorporate locals? What sort of training efforts can they provide to those without tech backgrounds? Would they train them in bootcamp style programs, to fail them at the leetcode interview phase, or is there pipeline that could incorporate non-tech folks into such roles?
- product50 8y agoThere is bound to be a lot of trickle down effect. If there are high paying jobs, that will create low paying jobs (such as restaurants, services, construction etc.) in order to support high paying jobs. The only exception to this is when the housing supply doesn't deep up with jobs demand. But in LIC, with Queens in the vicinity, housing supply should not be a big issue for some time.
