I am from Czech republic and here and in surrounding countries of previous ‘easter block’ the situation is different in my opinion.

Many tryed to build companies on young (unexeprienced) people and all of them have failed.
Now for about 4 years it seems the industry somehow learned. They (management) understood they need experineced professionals and they both started to value those people (as in money) and started kind of fighting for those people since the local resources are limited.

Im not sure how the world crisis have changed things, but maybe in IT overaly it didn’t really.

The level of ignorance in management stays high though :)

To “Nerdcore Steve”, just to say that in all the countries there is the same bullshit.

All is about the total lack of management, it doesn’t matter what industry, if you are managed by an asshole you get burnt because you will be paying always for their mistakes, or didn’t you realize that when your boss SUGGEST to do overtime they usually have to go home.

The problem gets much worse when the industries where you usually find young people passionate about them. The level of stupidity of the management staff reach absurd levels, since they ALWAYS think that the workers are willing to do OVERTIME. Such stupid behaviour will be there while the humankind exist, it was there with the Ancient Egygt, in the Romans, in the Feudalism, the Industrial Revolution and it will be there FOREVER. The management assholes WILL RULE FOREVER.

but do you enjoy what you do while you do it? do you enjoy the hard work, pushing things to the limit, expanding your knowledge/toolset, and creating kickass work?

if so, then is it really that bad to spend our youth having sex all the time??? I mean, developing games? ;)

I enjoy my work and feel as though both I and the company are growing/moving forward… so there is a payoff for this hard work, even if its not in the form of money.
