Story: Microsoft admits .Net skills shortage
Posted by: Anon (Tuesday 13 June 2006, 1:27 PM)
One of the factors is that management is just too short term obessed.
IT workers can reskill themselves with .Net (via study)but that counts for little in employers eyes. They just want to poach already skilled people from other businesses.
They not interested in investing in there own staff or hire people with the basics knowledge of .Net and train them up. Most of the jobs want 2 or more years experience along with a ever increasing list of skills.
Pay levels generally in IT are not very good and actually went down a few years ago.
A lot of the time you have to put in extra hours often unpaid. And get little thanks from users or management when projects are completed. Everything must be done yesterday is a common requirement.
If you want to progress to .Net you can't unless you have experience (unless of course you present company moves to .Net).
Employers in this country just arent interested in investing in there employees. Its mostly their own fault for resulting problems with respect to IT skills.
