What is a low-demand area?

• delusional 7mo ago
  A geographic area where there's not abundant opportunity for software developers. Usually everywhere outside the major metro areas. It was primarily meant to discount experiences from SF or Seattle where I'm sure finding talent is easy enough, assuming you are willing to pay.

  I thought of this not as geographic but in terms of what’s sexy vs not. Low Demand = not

    Right, like running a sanitation department for a city. Who wants to do that? No one, but it's pretty important and everyone will raise hell and almost riot when it's not working.

      Totally. I’m in insurance. So much is unsexy but critical. And that’s where you see a lot of folks churning on core systems, process, etc that makes insurance actually work vs any headline tech/investment/AI stuff. Don’t get me wrong - wins there too. But 22 year old Harvard grads aren’t going for underwriting assistant jobs (to use an example)
