Depends where. In the US? poor souls kept getting blamed by management.

IT is expensive says Management.

So they offshore.

Job is gone.

Once industry sang the same song, we're done. No more IT practitioners in the US.

The shift is happening right now and it happens in a similar fashion: nobody feels it yet but suddenly the rug under them is gone one day.

Silicon Valley is an exception. There are always great companies like Apple and Google. And there are those poor startups that try to overwork the so-called "energetic, genius, creative" fresh-grads.

But the turn-over/turn-around rate is very high.

Stick long enough in this industry and we'll start seeing patterns.
