Who are CIOs Planning to Hire Next?
Ed Baker writes "Do you have the skills CIOs are looking for? Cioinsight.com just posted their latest research, in which they asked more than 400 top IT executives about the hiring outlook for 18 different IT positions, and finds that the demand for new systems and infrastructure is leading to more hiring for IT professionals who can build them. The result: Project managers and programmers/systems developers top the list of IT professionals CIOs are looking to hire."
am i the only one on here who could give a flying fvck about trends and hiring statistics? i am a software engineer / oracle dba for a $100 million company who is happy with my job. i never want to become management or the boss or any of that crap. i will program til i die, and i will die a happy man. if this company pisses me off i will walk out the door and get another job in seconds because software doesnt write itself and databases dont manage themselves. you cant fake skill. my code speaks for itself. i dont want a promotion i want a raise and bonus. i can work anywhere for anyone who meets those requirements. in the end i will make plenty of money by doing what i do best. so who cares that project managers and programmers are a hot hiring trend. not me, and if you have the skills you wont either. almost anyone can manage but not everyone can code!
