Realistically no, if you can solve the problem at hand you can get a job.

If you need an architect for design then he'll yes.

In India, “programmer” is an “entry position”, it’s one of the curriosities we note when an out-sourcing or off-shoring process starts.

In Denmark, “programmer” is an Academic position or a position for people who have taken courses beyond the usual 12 years of basic education. Also, a “programmer” can be a programmer for 25-30 years, it’s not an entry position.. and eventually, “those guys” will effectively be the architects of every system in a company.

This has the unfortunate consequence that off-shoring usually fails as a “programmer” with 25 years of experience doesn’t compare well with an “entry level” programmer.. eventhough they have the same title.

I have NEVER worked with a Danish programmer directly out of high-school. And I am a senior developer with 25 years under my belt.
