I am in the Northern EU.
I have no idea what is going on. But in my 24 years of professional programming, the job market haven't been this "strange".
By strange I mean there seem to very little jobs and the jobs there is, it seems that I can hardly get into the first round of interviews.
I am a normal bread and butter programmer. I know my abstractions; tcp, http, sql, patterns, different popular languages and I know different business domains.
But little does it matter.
The I wonder, who gets the jobs ? Is the lower wage juniors or is it special knowledge seniors ?
I have also thought about if nearshoring is a part of the issue? Cheaper wages ?
Have we entered the time where software development is democratised so much that we are simply fighting over the same jobs ?
Any suggestions or insights here ?
Thx
