So you've had interviews? You shouldn't be so defensive of your CV but I apologize if I was rude. Plenty of mine were shit over the years too. I've had to read thousands over the years and discuss them with others so I have

I'm in my mid-30s and I don't care how old you are I've worked with many excellent programmers in their 50s and 60s and learned tons from all of them. Broad long-term experience isn't considered irrelevant it's just

If you have 20+ years of experience on your CV it's a shit CV. Why would anyone hiring care what you were doing over 20 years ago? I'm wondering what else was wrong with it that you didn't get a single response in 2 years of

If they didn't want a corporate owned shill why did they elect a corporate shill? >where low cost workers from overseas work at every single Tim Hortons. This isn't reality I think you need to check your information sources.

1) Very few people are going to go through the hassle of sponsoring an overseas worker for a junior role. It's a pain in the ass. I think this is an issue that is hugely over stated. 2) I don't know if you remember this but back

edit: I was being a dick here It does make you unqualified because you haven't been on there other side of the table trying to hire ever. The only person I saw was looking to change jobs which is to say leave their current employ

There are 10 people working that can do the job there industry needs 15. How do you get the extra 5 just by increasing salaries?

Tech doesn't need a steady pipeline there has been a huge increase in demand. Where after you looking with shitty wages and awful working conditions? And what other career paths do you think these people bailed out into that have bett

I've already responded to this claim in these comments. For what you say to be true there would need to be a large market of senior developers waiting in the wings refusing to work until wages go up. You're also assuming the growt

So you are claiming that the only thing holding you back from progressing your career is that you don't want to do more work for what you see as not enough money? If that is true you suffer from some serious short sightedness in regar

I've explained elsewhere why raising wages doesn't solve the problem. You are convinced there is no problem when you admittedly have no experience with the issue. You're also expecting to see changes that wouldn't fix th

Your experience is apparently going to a meet up to help a friend find a job. I'm not sure your experience is reality.

So I'm guessing you have found your attempts to hire senior devs in Australia to be easy?

I've answered this elsewhere in these comments.

You seem to fail to understand the difference between a junior and an intermediate to senior dev and think they are interchangeable. A bunch of new people flooding into the field are zero use to companies that need higher level employees to

How did you see the talent pool they are hiring from if you were helping someone look for a job and not helping someone hire for a job? Did you ask companies to see their applicant lists and CVs or something? Any of the meetups I've be

When you say you had a pretty good look at the market what do you mean?

And those students might be helpful for these roles in a decade. So do you expect these companies to survive just cooling their heels until then?

by sanswork 10y ago
The two aren't mutually exclusive. A lot of the top talent will go to the states because there are more opportunities for them there further draining the pool in Australia. The companies that choose to remain in Australia then are han

>sounds like a failure of tech employers to grow talent I see this a lot but people making this argument never seem to consider the fact that demand can increase substantially in a field over a very small amount of time. You blame it on

Say you need a senior developer and there are none on the market so you offer mine a 10% increase and free chocolate bars to come work for you. You now have a senior developer and I'm now in need of one but there are none of the marke

Lots of countries already have that including the US.

It's really hard to find intermediate to senior devs in Australia and has been for nearly a decade. It's even harder now with a few big companies like Atlassian grabbing them up enmasse whenever they become available.

by sanswork 10y ago
I'm guessing you haven't had to try and hire devs in Australia before if cost of developers is what you think the main problem is.

Given the number of posts on HN these days that seem to spur a mob of angry people I'm not even sure 20-25% is a bad figure. You said he's willing to do anything when what you meant was he is willing to work on optimising his work
