In Sydney I was responsible for interviewing and hiring candidates. The issue that companies are complaining about in these cities is not the ability to find programmers, or entry level programmers, the issue was finding good programmers with experience. We would receive thousands of job applications a year. We put them through a tough interview process, including intensive interviews with developers, and pair programming style coding tests. We wouldn't hire more than a handful, not because we didn't have the positions, but because they weren't good enough. Anyone that was good enough we would hire. And we paid well above market (a senior developer at my company in Sydney would get paid easily 6 figures), yet, we still couldn't hire as many people as we wanted. Maybe entry level developers aren't paid enough, but the issue that companies are complaining about in Sydney at least is caused by the fact that out of the thousands of developers they interview, only a very small percentage are good.[/quote]
