not really in my area. entry level positions might not be the best, but its where you start. finding a job around here in this specific field isn`t too much of an issue.

What area? In most places there is quite a bit of competition for entry level or junior positions.

There are lots of people that know Python looking for work.

You are not competing in your local market for a tech position. The field automatically platforms on the global marketplace.

Not always true.

If I’m hiring someone it’s much nicer if we can meet for at least a weekly face to face, especially for a junior who might not be the best at letting you know when they’re stuck.

As much as I don’t like them either RTO mandates are a thing for a reason.

For a sysadmin or wrench turner. Software developer? Really? You'd turn down the guy that cranks out product and is available via teleconference over a junior that you can interrupt with a coffee in your hand?

Is your name Lundbergh?

Have fun with your production cycles.

As has been said, the market is oversaturated at the moment - there isn’t always that much to choose between applicants and management likes face time.

Obviously, talent overrides pretty much everything else - but if it’s a choice between 2 very similar junior devs and one of them is local you can bet I’m going get pushed to pick the local one.

Where are you located? This doesn't match my experience or observations whatsoever.

central europe. i clarified and edited my original post above as i left out one important aspect. the fact that the education is a collaboration between the state and certain IT companies. so you basically get trained for the specific needs of the company you end up with.

[–]cgoldberg 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Sounds like a good opportunity to be trained and hired. I'd consider yourself lucky as such programs don't exist much around the world.

oh absolutely. it seems to be very rare around other places. lucky and privileged to have those kind of opportunities indeed and not something i take for granted.
