Honest question as a developer looking eventually to move to the Valley in a year or so: is it really that hard to find good people? Is software development really that hard? I taught myself 99% of what I know and found it to be pretty easy, and currently do iOS dev work. Just wondering.
- eru 12y agoThere's enormous demand for good people globally. The price at which demand meets supply is pretty nice for employees these days.
- pestaa 12y agoDepends on the country, to be fair. I could earn 10 times more if I could just bite the bullet and relocate to west.
- eru 12y agoOr East. Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia pay well, to name a few.
- crdoconnor 12y agoPretty nice for SV landlords. They get to share an enormous chunk of that cash.
- Blackthorn 12y agoNo. It's just hard to find good people willing to work for crap. A lot of what startups offer is crap.
- georgeecollins 12y agoIf you are skilled in objective C, and you have good code samples to show it, I think it should not be hard to find a position. If you are thinking about doing this I think a good place to start is to see if you can pick up some freelance work with a company based in the area.
