https://www.wsj.com/articles/washington-d-c-has-more-tech-job-openings-than-silicon-valley-11675772084?reflink=integratedwebview_share "The hottest job markets for software developers and programmers now are thousands of miles from San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Washington, D.C., and New York have more job openings for software developers than those California markets do, as nontechnology companies load up on engineering talent while startups and tech behemoths cut back. There were 2,369 software-engineering job postings in the San Francisco metro area and 2,084 around San Jose, Calif., which includes Silicon Valley, at the end of last year. Some 3,815 jobs were posted in the Washington, D.C., region and 3,325 in the New York metro area at that time, according to an analysis of listings by Vertis AI Inc., a workplace-data company. Job postings for software engineers in both San Francisco and San Jose reached a peak in the first half of 2022 and have declined substantially since, according to Vertis. Rashi Srivastava, 27, saw many software-engineering positions in the Bay Area when job hunting last year as she pursued her master’s degree in software engineering. Eventually, she took a job with social-media analytics firm Dataminr Inc. in New York. She said she was laid off in January and is looking for a job again. This time, she said the roles matching her criteria seem increasingly to be based in smaller cities or in New York, not San Francisco or Seattle. Ms. Srivastava would prefer to stay in New York, though her priority is to land at a company that will sponsor her visa. “I like it here,” she said. “It’s hard now, because it feels like whenever I get a new job, I don’t know where that will be."

China CYBERATTACK on UK ? WTF
Yeah, but what percentage of that is shit contacting for the government work?
Like the JEDI contract?
Enjoy creating apps that never see the light of day or for like <100 government workers who have no idea how to use the app. Enjoy red tape, shitty retired military vets bringing their toxic leadership. Wtf does a scrum master do? Wtf does a technical program manager do? Is everyone on this contract coasting? Should I coast? "We're agile" "Modernizing a legacy app" Enjoy polygraph and SCIF and pointless background investigations Enjoy your pay is based on your clearance not your skill
