Definitely. The hiring market in our industry is _on fire_ right now, we are treated well, paid fairly, etc. When the hard times come, it might be a little less cushy to be an engineer/data scientist.

- mqsiuser 12y agoIt's not cushy (to be an engineer). IT in it's current form is demanding (I like the "intense 24/7 activity" phrase). We are paid well for a reason and ofc it MAY feel cushy when you are on top of things. But this requires more than 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and some non-IT hobbies. I am even arguing on the side of "people just applying stuff" and ofc. the ones creating IT for them to use: No time to trim the beard (was prioritized down).

But this requires more than 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and some non-IT hobbies. I disagree with this (and it's certainly not my experience). If you put in these hours, on average you'll likely be better compensated, but you can very much make quite a lot of money in the objective and relative (to everyone else) sense without putting in absurd hours.
