> hiring a competent sysadmin to do on-prem HPC-Linux might prove challenging
Anecdata: I have 2 customers who have had open roles of this type for more than a year each. I'm pleased to report that they are edging their salary offers up into "reasonable" territory - but the fact remains that someone with that skillset would ordinarily be able to get paid twice as much at any of the 3 major clouds.
- fock 4y agoyes, pay is obviously an issue (likely also for the HPC-center - though I would take a job if they agreed that I can hire/apprentice people properly (a lot of the grunts education focusses on clicking through menus and nothing more today...) and then they let me alone doing whatever the current people did. Probably a fast road to burnout though) Also noone is doing this then eventually (deskilling is real) and as I really don't want to work for any of the evil empires...
