Sadly, that is not the case where I live. Mostly new companies, where the Java stack is not prevalent. No jobs to apply to, no one willing to even look at someone with experience in stacks other than their own. Not everyone lives in SF.
- badpun 7y agoThat's not SF situation. Probably 90%+ of boring big corps have millions and millions of lines of Java code to maintain and develop further. You just need to be in a city big enough to have some of those big companies. At least in Poland, it's hard to hire a generic senior Java dev. One possible explanation for what you're seeing (except not being in a right kind of city) is that maybe the offshoring has hit the US enough to affect the Java market? There tens/hundreds of thousands of Java developers working in Poland are doing offshore development for US/global corporations. The whole Central/Eastern Europe is like that.
