What’s Trump got to do with tech jobs being the cushiest and most overpaid for 4 years running?
The citizens of Bangalore are unanimous on this. :)
Who in their right mind would ever want to be an HR manager?
Anymore the job is little more than racial and gender bean-counting to satisfy our Government overlords.
Cushiest? I wish...
President Trump helped bring a tremendous investment by companies from all over the world being made in America. There has never been anything like it.
Apple agreeing to pay 350 Billion in taxes and make Apple products here again. If Obama did that, then we would never hear the end of it from the media.
Massive regulation reduction and tax Cuts are making us a powerhouse again.
Someone that needs a decent pay check and does not want to flip burgers for a living.
It’s totally the cushiest. As we sit in our climate controlled offices with no dress code, free snacks and sodas, and I actually can’t remember the last time I worked OT. Life in tech is good.
I still don’t see how anything Trump did had a direct effect on tech being the best jobs in the country. Read your own story, this is the 4th year in a row. And of course since it’s “the best in the country” it’s graded on a curve, it could actually be a terrible industry to work in but if it’s the least terrible that makes it the best.
The story you posted and what you want to thank Trump for aren’t related.
I write software and work from home, it’s bigly cushy.
Not jealous at all. I’m IN tech. I know we live the cush life and get paid too much.
Catbert would be a close second.
You are smoking crack if you think the tech economy was good under Obama. It was horrible.
Ehat it is you exactly do?
You are smoking crack if you think the tech economy was good under Obama. It was horrible.
What it is you exactly do?
Now that I'm a retired software engineer, my main interest is software is in technology like browser security extensions and other techniques for staying off the radar screens of "data scientists."
Nothing, which is too bad. It’s time to cut off the H1-B visas and return a million high quality high pay high desirability jobs to Americans.
That’s not what I’m saying. READ YOUR OWN STORY. What you’re happy about has NOTHING to do with the story you posted. ZERO, ZILCH, NADA. Outside of the word “tech” they are 100% UNRELATED.
Oh okay.... Haha!
Well enjoy your fantasy land.
