A few weeks ago, Rodolfo Carpintier expressed his opinion (and insisted ) on computer professionals. Enrique Dans did before here and here .

I, who belong to that select group of privileged people arriving to claim they do not know the strike, I can only feel outrage. Working in this sector since 2000 and have seen it all, including those queues INEM. As indicated by Rodolfo, I am of those who believe many of these projects and ended up in those queues.

Now when we talk about work relating to those of 850 euros per month, well worth, or 900 (in 12 payments). So clear that there is unemployment, but we can also prostitutes, well, I doubt it . From there to the 30,000 per year that comment I think there is a long way, especially taking into account that there are more countries beyond Madrid and Barcelona. I live in Valencia and I have not seen an offer that wage programmer never, perhaps offer some very experienced analyst.

Rodolfo also talks about startups and equipment working hours with little pay, in exchange for units in the project. Suppose I created the project and I'm willing to do so. What am I supposed to live the next 12 or 24 months? From what I've saved the previous two years? I am filled with laughter, but my mortgage even further.

I find it to talk to professionals with considerable experience are increasingly unattainable. Did the good economists are not? What about lawyers? What about the managers? Any of them will likely be higher than good technicians in terms of salary.

Enrique says that personal foul, many staff, and desperately. That this is blocking the development of new projects on the Internet. This can only be one answer. Look at the salaries they pay. He thinks he can not be so, given the shortage that prices would rise there. Nope. Until less than a year have covered the challenging demands of low-wage workers and had always replacement for them. But many were tired. Why are you going to plan your for 900 euros if the next door, the commercial, which makes much less than you, it is 1800? Or perhaps in the period 2000-2007 have not left hundreds of programmers? Sum technical engineering, higher cycles of higher degree. Hundreds of professionals annually. Most ridiculous salary working for a highly specialized work. Undoubtedly, as we argued Enrique, the profession suffers from a brutal smear. But it is a disgrace caused by the employment situation of the sector in the period 2001-2007.

Everyone talks about the lack of professional commitment and they want to do your eight hours and collect his salary. What someone has thought about the commitment of the company to the worker? Bone, we pay little and commitment. The company what it is going to commit, and gives him a job, what more do you want?. Then I leave at 5 pm. I want to schedule a meeting at 6 pm. I want you to think I'm one person and need my free time I work out of necessity, because I need the money to live. I want you to understand that if I'm happy, my job will be much better and be more committed and integrated and accept more challenges and responsibilities. Do not you see? In addition, they now want committed professionals, who can respond and ability to solve problems. But on the other hand, a vast majority want programmers errands, you have to do this, you that and the other one over there and you have to do so. A sting code and let me know when finished. I'll take this sentence from Enrique Dans:

And is that workers move from the architect not only requires a higher level of qualification. It also implies that there are incentives to do so.

Now the market is very complicated, that's undeniable. Our latest selection processes have been extended for months and we still find people valid. It does not matter that you seek people with experience or compromised, is that just find people of any kind. It is the price we have to pay for years of abuse to the professional.

Personally I think the discussion should not be whether or not there are qualified people but where are all professionals graduated in recent years? Simply resigned. The most and the least has been through several odd jobs such miserable salaries. For those who have spent studying until 23 or 25 years (at best) is somewhat frustrating to see no way out. Have resigned themselves and prefer to work of those who allow them to live quietly and without a doubt, these eight hours for a mediocre salary because they realize they will not find something better, and even when they do come to believe when milongas, I still remember the last Once I heard of incentives. The classic situation is better known evil than an unknown good.

Please let's not complain once. Technical personnel are generally highly educated people, capable, professional and, most importantly, they love their work. Tratémosla as such and give him what he deserves. After all, as they say all these gurus, in their hands is the development of your business. Recover the value of our profession.

The next day talk about the guilt of the meat consultants, of subcontractors and the situation in the SME sector, most companies in this country.
