We have at least seven open positions in UI, platform, applications and devops. There are virtually no people available on the market. The last candidate to our platform team accepted the offer and then changed his mind a week or so before his first day. The rumor has it he was given annual bonus on the spot when the management at his current company heard about his plans. The most promising UI candidate was offered to work remotely and fly for a week to our SV office monthly. Have we reached a new permanent plateau or is it going to end in another 2008-style round of layoffs?
As a side note, how come in a 300M country there are not enough people knowing UI stuff? All that CSS/HTML/JavaScript is not exactly rocket science, students could do it. For 100K+ one would expect lines of people falling over each other to apply for a job .. even if on H1B.
