Completely wrong: there is no shortage of developers, there is a shortage of competent people. Huge difference. Not a CxO myself, but high enough to feel the pain of hiring good people, especially when HR does not allow to pay them properly - for them all developers are the same, so they all get about the same salary.
- iamctobitch2 8y agoYou make it seem like the competent people can't be from other parts of EU, why? There are many competent engineers in whole EU to hire from? I work with some incredibly talented Polish and Romanian engineers, I never felt there is shortage of labor in German market. Perhaps some companies need to offer more incentive, network better and open up more to employees.
- ivan_gammel 8y agoOk, that also fits my understanding of the market - I don’t receive all the applications, because our HR team is good at filtering. Unfortunately, German businesses are very strong in salary negotiations, so it’s a whole big thing to sell the idea of fair market compensation inside the company.
