Software Engineering is not in demand.
What is in demand is cheap labor that can churn out low-quality web applications, label them MVP, and use them to convince investors to pour in money to hire more cheap labor.
The biggest tell that this is true is hiring for a specific library/framework/platform.
If you wanted a software engineer, you wouldn't care what particular thing they have worked with most recently. Maybe you would care about the general category of work, but mostly you would care more about practical experience and past achievements/results.
- bluedevil2k 5y agoThis isn’t true at all. Maybe in some locations (Silicon Valley? I don’t know), but every job I’ve been on has needed top level programmers for critical applications that have real world value.
- hsn915 5y agoThey need senior level programmers, but most of them are not willing to pay much more than junior level salaries, because they think they just need copy-paste programmers.
