Finding a Tech Job Is Still a Nightmare

3 years ago by Lee Duna to c/technology

Tech companies have laid off more than 400,000 people in the last two years. Competition for the jobs that remain is getting more and more desperate.

We need to unionize, or the existing Tech/Communications unions need to get better and expand to include us.

We also need to force tech departments to stop offshoring their workers, I love our Indian tech Bros as much as the next guy, but companies need to hire local first rather than ripping off Indian tech Bros on the cheap just because they can.

And lastly, let remote workers who can do their jobs perfectly fine working remote stay remote, there is absolutely no reason why someone who works in cloud or virtualization technologies should have to be onsite, same with developers, same with so many other positions, both tech and standard.

The visa rules make it too easy for employers to take advantage of foreign workers. 30 days to find a new job isn't enough, IMO, so they have to put up with a lot more than they should.
