Perhaps it's my impression but I think there is a lot of work in IT going around those days. Perhaps close to what it was before the 2000 boom (according to jobstats very close actually). However, by looking at the salaries advertised, companies are failing to recognise that when the market is strong they have to pay more. How long until they will start realising this?

...naa the market I'm afraid just isn't what it was. It just isn't dire, you can pick up a job easy enough. Don't see why employers need to shove salaries up; I get the impression plenty of CV's land on the desk, when a job is advertised.I'm alright JackComment

Originally posted by FranckoYes but that's the point. If it is so easy to pick up a job, it means that the market is strong. I am becoming an alcoholic because of all those leaving parties here. Yet, it's not only companies which fail to see the equation but also the people itself, perhaps because of the last 3-4 years of dire market, people are simply happy that they have a chance to change the job. But if 2+2=4 and not to 3, if there are more job offers than people, how long to wait until the salaries will skyrocket again?
Although in later years population demographics are in the techies favour this will be offset by increased outsourcing.Hard Brexit now!

Originally posted by sasguruSimple. There are less jobs than people for now. It's an employers market and will remain so for the forseeable future (except in certain specialist skills or perhaps in the City). Remember quite a few jobs on the websites don't exist.

Originally posted by Fleetwood"techie's" or "techies' ". Here it's not clear from the context, although generally the singular is used by convention in this context. Eg "Let's look at this from the working man's point of view".
