  • 相约北美 / 移民留学 / The IT industry has evolved into one with completely unrealistic expectations.
    本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛There are two problems in high tech hiring:
    1) companies think they can hire technical people with every skill under the
    sun, and
    2) companies are not willing to accept anyone who may need to "learn"
    (however quickly) another skill set.

    Here is an example of what I mean, an ad pulled at random from the June 16th
    Financial Post ...

    "... financial and tactical planning and forecasting ... degree or diploma,
    preferably including MCSE ... knowledge of security practices, LANs and
    WANs, Alpha and Compaq servers, VAX systems, and VB, C+, HTML, ORACLE,
    Windows 95/98/NT/2000, PKI, and Entrust. A willingness to travel is
    required."

    They don't want much, do they?! These ads are placed by HR and marketing
    people, by the way. "Well, let's put in everything, and see what we get." Of
    course, they will never find anyone with that many skills, so they will
    bemoan the lack of "qualified" candidates.

    • I believe the turn over rate in IT field is higher than other field, especially if you are a programmer.
      Some one told me that a typical programmer / consulting position in an IT company last 3 to 4 years. A lot of people just "jumping" from one company to another in order to get a raise. But change your position too frequently will make your career in danger since you are too unstable. So think carefully before making a decision.
