This person is correct. Outside the tech sector there are companies still hiring at a rapid rate. Is the tech sector an early indicator of the overall economy?

This person is correct. Outside the tech sector there are companies still hiring at a rapid rate. Is the tech sector an early indicator of the overall economy? I don’t know. it could be. But if you need a job look at other sector. Lower paying sector like education, government, and non profits are pretty desperate for people still and these are often great places to work with good benefits even if the pay is not so great.
- spangry 4y agoTo echo this: in Australia, people with even mediocre tech or data skills can walk into a federal government job as they're desperate for IT and data expertise. You'll get a combined yearly salary and retirement benefits of "only" about $150k AUD (~$100k USD) for a mid-level role. Certainly not big tech money but the hours are good and job security is rock solid. Tech people have it so good - I certainly regret my career choices.
- yawnxyz 4y agooh wait, so that's why there are so few tech founders in Sydney? Really hard to find any engineers hungry to start their own thing
