I met a guy who works as a Systems Analyst over the weekend. He told me that if he were getting into the field now, that being a developer is where it's at.
He said that once you get some experience you can work anywhere in the country that you want. Pretty easy to find jobs, good pay, didn't mention whether the hours or work sucks or not. That means that in places that are fairly job scarce like LA, Miami, Vegas or NYC- that it would still be pretty easy to find some kind of paying work.
Wouldn't there also be a lot of international opportunity as well? Being able to jet and work in a place like Brazil or France would be totally awesome.
If not, he did mention that you'd probably be able to easily work remotely-- therefore, easy to work on the beach in Brazil or Thailand!!
Anyone have any comments about the hours and whether the work sucks or not?
The only thing that would probably suck would be that there would be NO WOMEN whatsoever in the workplace, and your coworkers, most likely from places like India, China or Russia-- correct me if i am wrong. Is this a good career for an international player?
And how hard would it be to get started in this field? Finally, is outsourcing to India in the future a potential issue?
