Parent is correct. I also work in the Bay Area for a medium sized software company, and we're constantly starved for talent, and engineers who know what they are doing are in high demand. Hell, even engineers who do not know what they are doing are getting work. You could literally not know how to program, and still get a programming job for $75K if you can at least spell C++.
I can have difficulty believing this.
Another thread here pounded the H1-B strategies of corporations and the gov't. In that thread I didn't get the impression that earnings in this field were so immense and the "shortage" of talent/coders/problem solvers/whatnot is so profound.
I wonder what your post and it's parent would come down to if you removed the hyperbole and sarcasm. Seriously, I am interested. Unless the market is closed - xenophobia and the like.
