Reading all of your comments, you guys should feel lucky of living in technologically advanced countries, specifically the US and the Bay Area in particular, that offer such opportunities in IT employment.
Here in Spain is totally another story. The startup scene is essentially non-existent, so if you're worth your salt you only have one option: moving, either to one of the bigger cities (like Madrid or Barcelona) or abroad. If you wish to stay, get prepared to spend the rest of your life in a big-ass, old fashioned business like Sadiel where you'll be coding Java boilerplate code for the rest of your life.
- tinco 12y agoUnfortunately this is the case almost everywhere. To get a good programming job you often have to move to a big city. You can get lucky and find a job in a smaller city, but most companies won't risk an area with low good programmer density and settle in a big town.
- aianus 12y agoI would go one step further and say to get a good programming job you often have to move to the US. Most tech companies won't risk an area without VC money geysers and settle in and around SF.
