IT Job explosion!

[MarillionFan]

IT job growth is the highest it's ever been. But you'll have to be here in San Francisco because its the only place hiring.

Here the Bobs are in demand and there isn't enough local skills. Come a down turn and these guys will be all over the rest of the world.

I went to an IT offsite earlier and out of 150 people I would have said 130 are from India. Time to get out of contracting people, you ain't competing!

If Silicon Valley Were a State, It Would Be #1 in Job Growth

Try not to alienate the candidates though. Then you give the business a bad reputation and no one wants to work for you.

Who will set up ContractorSF ?

Come a downturn in SF? I'll have to double check with people I know who live there but I don't remember there being much of a downturn there in 2001 or 2008 so I don't think we have anything to worry about.

You have to remember that Silicon Valley is another world. I don't believe any of the English people I know who work there are ever likely to return to the UK let alone Indians..

I got a call on Wednesday about remote working for a Silicon Valley company. Go over for a couple of weeks, then work remotely. If it's still not filled by December I might take them up on it. Forgot to ask the rate though...

Unlike in the Wharf, the IT jobs in Frisco are real. The mobile <--> cloud link works perfectly over there, while here anybody with a bit of Excel skills is a programmer.

Candidates try and turn up for interviews though. Then you give the yourself a bad reputation and no one wants to hire you.

FTFY

I was out there in 2003 working for a technology corp. and was reliably informed that some 250,000 Indians had returned home as a result of the downturn.
(I'd go back to Cali in a shot if I got the chance.)
