Nearly all of the areas you mentioned are massive commodity markets, where individuals get hired on the basis of least pay they are ready to accept. Its not a very comfortable position to be in. You age quickly, fall victim to age related discrimination. While a fresher gets the job because he is ready to work for a little less.
>>Yes Java is not what cool kids advocate but it what makes an good career.
Well Java is what cool kids in the late 90's were advocating. And C++ was where the supposedly 'good career' was.
- wikwocket 13y agoI'm willing to believe that mobile dev is treated as a commodity market, but the other areas mentioned are essentially "desktop apps" and "web apps." I don't think you can paint with so broad a brush that essentially all front-end and back-end Java work is commodity. Surely there are markets and companies where companies hire Java programmers as replaceable cogs, and you shouldn't aim to work there. But there are many many enterprises where quality Java engineers are hired, appreciated, and well-compensated.
