I haven't been in Sweden for a while, but in Finland there's large headlines about a major shortage of tech workers, but based on what I've seen it's basically tech workers changing careers because they are:

1) fed up with useless benefits 2) get no possibilities for developing their skills while on the job 3) are expected to work unpaid overtime for wages that won't pay the rent in the larger cities

I've no idea how it will end to be honest, but I suspect there'll be a lot of buzz about it once post-COVID hiring starts.

>in Finland there's large headlines about a major shortage of tech workers

same where i live, tons of headlines saying there's shortage, but in our case, the salaries are just horrible. not only that but when you have a job that pays well, they basically demand your life for the company.

it's much better to work as a contractor for foreign companies than working at local ones.
