NPOtechs connects techies with

01/22/2004 02:10 AM

NPOtechs is a small group of Chicago open source advocates who help support non-profit organizations. Most non-profits have little or no IT budget and appreciate the free help. In exchange, the technologists get practice in real-world situations and get to promote open source.

Without an Education, Will Techies Go
Far Enough?
12/19/2004 03:43 PM

For this article, I am standing firmly on a soap box.

The Associated Press reported, today, on a few information technologist that are doing well in their young careers, so well, in fact, that they each hope to retire before reaching middle age, and they attained their success without a formal higher education. This article struck a raw chord with me, because I emphasize the value of formal education to all of the students whom I teach, including those seeking a B.S. in information technology (IT) and those pursuing a M.B.A. with a further concentration in IT.


Techies Left Behind


Techies Left Behind 01/16/2004 12:59 PM
Te chies Left Behind James Pace Jr. used to work as a steamfitter in a General Electric plant in Bridgeport. That was back in the early '70s, when the grapevine was alive with warnings: These jobs are going overseas. Go back to school. There's no future here. Pace left the plant, enrolled in computer school, studied information technology and never looked back. That is, not until 23 years later, on the day he was told his $100,000-a-year job as an IT (information technology) consultant had been sent to India

Google Sacked Killed And Then Ate A Blogger

Mark Jen, fresh new Googler, formerly of Microsoft, was happily blogging about life at Google when he was called to the company's Human Resources office. There he was told that he was being let go.

And then, as the term "let go" was repeated with a slightly different stress, the floor beneath Jen was opened up, and he plunged into a school of the little piranhas Google HR keeps in a moat. The piranhas were later served up to other cowering employees by Google's famous sushi chef, who visits weekly. An important lesson was learnt.

Techies Lined Up For Disney Job?


Techies Lined Up For Disney Job? 09/20/2004 02:54 AM
Rumors are flying this weekend that Yaho o CEO Terry Semel may be the leading candidate to replace Michael Eisner at Disney. Semel, of course, comes from the media world and was actually a surprise hire at Yahoo, which he joined from Warner Brothers. He still commutes to Yahoo from Southern California, flying up to Silicon Valley for half the week. The article has anonymous quotes from people suggesting both that he would like to take it and that he wouldn't. Obviously, there's still plenty to be done at Yahoo, and it would probably anger a lot of people if he bailed out now. Still, what's more interesting is that many of the "leading candidate" rumors are from the tech world (even if they have plenty of media credentials): along with Semel, there's Meg Whitman (who says she's not interested in the job) and Steve Jobs, who has been rumored for plenty of top media company jobs lately. No matter what, it's interesting to note that experience in the tech/internet world is also seen as at least somewhat valuable in the media world. It's a step in the right direction, as no media company is going to remain successful if they don't understand what's happening in tech.

U.S. Techies Working At Overseas
Salaries?


U.S. Techies Working At Overseas
Salaries?
12/03/2003 02:39 PM
The issue of tech companies offshoring programming work is certainly a contentious one, and Business Week has an article talking about how one company dealt with the dilemma of saving 50% on salaries (vs. the standard asking price) by outsourcing to India or, instead, offering much lower salaries to American workers. The company found that they were flooded with resumes for the low paying job - many of which turned out to be high quality programmers. The company hired four programmers at the lower wages, and used them for the one project. Two of the programmers were eventually hired on as full-time employees at regular salaries. Of course, this sort of thing only works while the job market is weak, but does suggest that the market is correcting somewhat for boom-time salaries that were out of proportion with reality. Still, I take issue with the "obvious" choice, as described in the article, of going with cheaper overseas workers. I think that the benefits of having local, on-site staff who you can communicate with directly is quite valuable - often in excess of the amount of money "saved" in offshore salaries. In this case, the employer only valued the location at $5,000/year - which is much less than it's probably worth. The risk in offering salaries that are so low is that you may get lower quality workers who are much more likely to jump ship. However, in this case, it's clear that the employer realized this, and appears to have made his reasons clear to the employees - and, in fact, adjusted the salaries well upwards for the employees he wanted to keep. This all brings to mind the whole concept of "professional internships" that seem to become popular when the economy is down. People who want to convince a potential employer of their worth sometimes agree to unpaid (or barely paid) "internships" to convince the company that they're worth hiring.

Techies Still Cling To Current Jobs


Techies Still Cling To Current Jobs 08/30/2004 06:24 AM
During the bubble years of the late 90s, it often seemed as though people looked down on you if you kept a job for more than a year. Everyone was job hopping, often moving up a level with each hop. However, following the bubble burst and the recession and all those layoffs, it appears techies are still very, very cautious about switching jobs. A new study shows that only 8.9% of tech workers willingly left their jobs last year, which the researcher says is the lowest number since he started the study in the 1980s. On the involuntary side, many should be happy to note that the number of people who left their job via layoffs also has dropped significantly as things seem to be stabilizing. Of course, you could question the study, as it only follows a group of "the world's best-known tech firms," which is likely to leave out many startups and other firms where job hopping is more popular.
