The race to the bottom

We abhor the temporary IT staffing model common today; the prospective staff are sought on a last-minute basis filtered by misconfigured, mindless Applicant Tracking Systems hired by recruiters largely innocent of IT knowledge treated as virtual slaves by client companies frequently dismissed when they cannot conjure miracles frequently dismissed on a whim, or by mismanagement discarded, often with little or no notice, after the assignment treated with no regard for their well-being This cruel system corrupts clients makes the hapless staffers cynical and mistrustful provides poor matches between jobs and prospects incentivises dishonesty on all sides clouds and confuses the market wastes tremendous amounts of money and time .  This pernicious, awful system is slowly breaking down with time, and is sustained only because of power imbalances , inertia and indolence. Granted, there are still a few conscientious companies and people working in the staf...

Moving to Austin? Consider these points before committing to the move ...

This is the very last post I will make as a resident of Austin, TX. It wasn't so long ago that Austin, TX was the best place in the USA to be a high-tech worker. There were (and still are) plenty of jobs, great music, lots to do, and a good, central location in the best State in the Union. Now, however, there are mounting clouds on the horizon. I now have four days left here, and I wanted to share my perspective and give some hopefully valuable advice to people moving to Austin. People considering a move to the area might want to think very carefully, do a lot of research, and perhaps choose one of the exurbs surrounding Austin (Hutto, Bastrop, San Marcos, etc.) since the cost of living is much lower and there are fewer of the irritants and dangers described below. IMHO, urban Austin and its suburbs are poor bets, especially for family-oriented people, and I voted with my feet - I just sold my home, and leave forever next week. I lived in Austin for 40 years, and saw quite a bit o...

Quick overview of the state of Austin high tech employment

The Austin Chamber of Commerce released some tech numbers for 2017 last month .  This should give some perspective and data to the state of the high-tech sector.  The report is short enough to read in a few minutes.  Here are some highlights: There are more than 5800 high-tech firms in Austin Total jobs almost 130,000, or nearly 14% of all jobs Only about 1% growth in last year Manufacturing high-tech is contracting, non-manufacturing high-tech is expanding A few consequences of these points are in order.  I would guess that some of these firms are one-person operations not in a position (yet) to hire.  If we assumed that all of them are capable of hiring, it would take contacting about 125 companies a week to check all of them for potential jobs.  That is a lot of resume-emailing.  NB:  It will probably take more than e-mailing resumes to find a good job. I'm doing my job search in a rather traditional manner, and it's just not as effec...
