well yes and no. They are hiring some highly skilled
people for %20-%30 less (if they have the exact skillset
being sought and aren’t “too old”). There are plenty of
IT people unemployed due to age or undercut by
immigrants/H1Bs/offshoring.
Yep. Programmers are a dime a dozen. Engineers are better by design......
Such as myself. Job went to India, and I'm nearly 58.
I've had two interviews in 5 months, when in "normal" times I would have had a job in less than one month. Job hunting has become a form of keyword bingo, where you have to match a particular list of skillset TLA's even to be picked out of the pile.
