IT Jobs in the UK
A slashdot posting warning of a future shortage of Computer Science graduates led me to this site: www.jobstats.co.uk/.
Every week, site creator Nick Wells parses job adverts in the UK and publishes an analysis breaking them down by skills, salary and region. Comparisons with past data enable you to see changing trends in the industry too.
In the face of so much “My job went to India and all I got was this lousy t-shirt” doomsaying, it’s good to see that there is still demand for IT professionals. My gut instinct tells me that a lot of people jumped onto the Information Technology bandwagon during the internet boom, lured by the insane money being thrown at inane ideas, and that these opportunists have now all jumped ship. I believe that people who are genuinely passionate about the possibilities of technology will find a way to make a good living from something they care about.
Then again, I have to believe in that. But that doesn’t mean it’s not true.
