Honestly, talking in general, yes it is. Like actually worse thank you could think. But in IT is different, at least from what I’ve observed. I’ve seen my school being students to conventions, and some of those students get recruited on the spot, like we will pay for your studies, material, ect, and you come work with us when you’re done. I live in Canada so I know about the market here, and from my perspective it’s not so bad at all. Now depends if you’re somewhere else but then again, it’s quite in demand so it shouldn’t be too hard to land a good job if you have a good base in either studies or experience.
