General / Off-Topic So London Has a skills shortage

Hmm, well of course contracting is totally a thing in Dev but those guys do get paid a lot more to compensate for it. I still think that permanent jobs are the most common though. I have thought on numerous occasions of giving up my permanent job for a lucrative contract. The only thing that puts me off is the extent to which one must move around.
How come?
Have we worked together before? You sound familiar. You should know It training courses wont secure you a job if they want experience in that specific industry. I work for Microsoft and frontier as a beta tester although I don't get paid for it.

Did that in 2001 - boom 2002 dotcom bubble - no contractor work - near bankrupt after a year.
Not the best time to do at the moment. 2005-20015 would have been the time.
Possible.
Ever worked for Pilkington?

You're probably right. I'm not really looking anyway, kind of happy doing what I'm doing because it's nice and close to my family which makes a big diff to quality of life etc..
Is that a serious question? Do you know what technical debt is?
A good start into your career as compliance officer.
Not joking. Legal and Financial Compliance would not apply, but there's an increasing "IT" compliance sector .. that's the funny stuff even with outsourcing - they can outsource the coding and then require 3 people to check if everything is working ^^
Banking sector might be a bit hard to get into, they usually require some checkboxes when it comes to certification (completely overrated and overpriced courses imo), but medium sized businesses .. would look there. (and yea, HR nowadays is run but a lot of "career oriented" people in their late 20ies who don't have the slightest clue what your qualifications mean, so they depend on their little checkboxes - and departments are usually not allowed to source on their own, without going trough HR for everything)
If you look at what "talent" they have - young guys from the university, no idea "how stuff works", send them out with some runbooks written by complete monkeys in a very dark room. You can either take some additional courses or just apply with what you have and market your knowledge (either fake the checkboxes for HR or just look for a company where you get a real contact
). o7

Yes.. which is why most companies prefer permanent employees. Am I missing something?
You might, if you could prove discriminatory or unfair hiring practices.

I've always wondered how people go about trying to prove that kind of thing. Unless the employer was stupid enough to write it down in some way it's going to be a hard one to prove I'd have thought.
Such ageism. Sexism . Racism. All you need to do is look who works there . If they are not like you. You don't get hired. Diversity is the name of a dance band.
I believe that Theresa May planned to tax the companies which employ the migrants. This tax being used to finance the formation of the autochthons. This idea is not bad. It can allow to limit the immigration and to develop the skills of the British . A double blow winning for the UK

I thought that's what we do when we beta test and report bugs that are not bugs because they have now been fixed. Or submit game suggestions that can't be used because they have been suggested. All for free.
A special reward for beta testers would be nice. I lost many ships that are still on my account during the prelaunch phase and subsequent releases due to "special anomalies".

The way she was treated by EU member in the parliament was shocking and embarrassing. Many Britains died so Europe would live.

A scandal ! An unprecedented arrogance of the EU. And Cameron was also snubbed a few months ago by the EU

You're right. I didn't consider that. Well corrected CMDR. [up]
Which is irrelevant were people today are concerned. Two world wars and one world cup is not a political position.

If you really think that money will go to training the plebs I have some martian sand to sell you.
Furthermore, all that will do is increase the costs of goods and services for UK citizens at best and result in crippling skill shortages for the UK economy at worse.
It's another absurd idea from a mad government.

The EU has consistently given the UK what it wants, from opt outs to rebates. No more? Good. The UK can play by the rules or play elsewhere.

But do not worry. There will always be immigration in the UK. The immigration controlled and selective. The Immigration also brings large skills

The rules are not necessarily the best (austerity, immigration ...) and the rules are made to be changed for everyone
