High-Tech Blues or Just Expectations are Set Too High?

Thursday, June 30, 2005

"Online want ads for IT workers are slowly growing in numbers. Layoffs are less frequently in the headlines. Some IT professionals are even leaving one good job for a better one at another company.

Slowly but surely signs are pointing to new life in the tech sector. But there's no sign out there of the kind of boom that lit up the industry at the end of the last century - the Internet boom".

That's how "High Expectations Leave IT Workers With the Blues", published by Datamation portal, starts. It's an excellent reference that forces us to look at things in perspective: sustainable growth vs. Boom & Bust, realistic expectations vs. faith in another miracle, understanding how we (the IT industry) are stacking up against the rest of the economy (this article is based on the US stats, mind you, but we know that patterns in the US and Canada are somewhat similar).

Read into it - we strongly recommend..
