It's racist to employ British people at the expensive of poor immigrants. Most of these new jobs will thus go to immigrants.

Originally posted by mace View Post2. Most employers are unwilling to be more flexible when filling their job roles, requiring an exact match on skills and industry sector. This makes it extremely difficult for candidates to move out of areas that have had a dropoff in demand to areas where there's more demand than supply.
But in the UK employers are very fussy even with permanent roles. It seems perverse to demand every skill under the sun (for a permie role) and yet provide no training or opportunities to learn new skills. One more reason why you're better off as a contractor in the UK!Cats are evil.Comment

You'll find a very diverse mix in that set of morons - it's not all Bob Showadiwadi from Mumbai, it's just as likely to be Randy Loverod from California. The real problem is that the vast majority of people working in IT are not only pretty useless, they also aren't interested in improving.
The people who post on there and accept a cruddy hack with "That works, kthxbye", yet completely ignore an answer that explains why their approach was wrong in the first place and how to do it correctly, vastly outnumber those who show any evidence of seeking understanding of their actual problem in order to achieve the best solution.
As long as such people are able to find employment, the majority of software will be garbage from start to finish - oops, I mean RUN to STOP.
On the brighter side: There are a good few people on there who are genuinely interested in developing their skills. It's not a coincidence that they tend to ask the most interesting questionsComment
