Is it true that now (during the crisis) it is difficult to find a job in the IT field?

Question

Work organization

I heard a lot of rumors that now there are cuts due to the crisis. Is it true?
And where can you get a job, for example, in Kazan with a secondary specialized education (repair and maintenance of computer equipment)?

Answer 1

Perhaps temporarily, yes.
Many small companies closed.
But only temporarily. The need for IT specialists will only grow in the next 10-15 years.
But there is one caveat - the stratification index will be higher and higher.
The coolest specialists on the megasalary will write programs that allow you to replace many employees.
"just IT specialists" may start to experience difficulties, like people of other professions.

Answer 2

No

Answer 3

In the Russian market, on the contrary, there are fewer specialists, since many have gone west, the price tags have risen a lot, there are few specialists.
Well, in the west, for a salary of 30k bucks a month, it’s hard to find, but for 10k, which is average, a lot of work.
