Disclaimer: Don’t really quit your job right now if you are happy where you are. But if you’re a sad panda in your cubicle all day, now might be the time to turn that frown upside down!
A piece by John Shinal over at FINS for the WSJ outlines five good reasons why being on the tech job market is a good place to be in. Companies are expected to invest a ton of money in tech projects this year, which will mean an increased demand for employees with technological expertise.
According to their talk with tech recruiter, Ian Ide:
“We began to see a difference beginning about 10 months ago, but in the last four months things have gotten really hot,” said Ian Ide, general manager of the New York technology practice for the recruitment and staffing firm Winter, Wyman.
Hiring acceleration at staffing agencies usually precedes an uptick in full-time, permanent staff hiring, said Ide. But not everyone knows that, of course, and tech job candidates who get out into the market earlier in a hiring cycle are usually better off than those who get a job later.
Basically, if you make the move now, you’ll have a wider safety net should something not work out. Someone out there needs your expertise. Take advantage of the situation and look for something that will make you feel more fulfilled!
