  • I think it depends where you’re at and what you’re looking for. I’ve never really had much of a problem getting an IT job anywhere I’ve lived, but in some places like in the midwest, I had to go with contract-to-hire jobs rather than just going for fulltime jobs because there just wasn’t the market. In the bay area there are bazillions of IT jobs so I could quit today and start interviewing by next month and probably have a new job the month after that, which I’ve done a couple times now. I don’t have a degree, but I went to college long enough that I should have had one. I know a lot of people beat themselves up over rejections and not hearing back but that really should be expected. No one is going to fit everyone’s need and a lot of companies get hundreds of applications per job so sometimes they don’t even see your application. But just keep applying and you’ll get some hits… its just probabilities imo.



  • I work with a group of people that came from google and there are a couple of them that refuse to use chrome which I found a little bit surprising at first, especially since they worked on bits of Chrome and bits of a lot of the different systems that hoover up all our data. You’d think if you worked for them you’ve pretty much given them every iota of data they could ever possibly dream of but I guess there’s something in not giving them continual easy free refreshes of that data.
