Hey, Migs. Kumusta?

Would you know anyone who might be interested in buying an entire set of J2EE books? I’m selling my Java library.

I think seniority should be more output and innovation-oriented than anything else. A stagnant old timer is not a senior developer: he's an old Mort.

Its not only those who have experience who are leaving but a lot of young grads are going everywhere to find jobs. In Singapore young IT grads are offered starting pay of $2800-3000(P90,000) so who would resist that. These are new grad salaries for graduates of 2007

Personally, I think this labeling of seniority is doing more harm than good, for both employees and company.

The company needs a skill set, not age nor tenure. Skills and experience will finish the job.

Too bad that many companies uses seniority as basis of promotion to management and leadership. I’m not saying they shouldn’t, but it’s not a solid criteria. A good senior experienced programmer will not mean a good leader.

for me a senior programmer is anyone who has had enough programming ans system design experience to be able to share that experience with other people. he does not have to be very good at programming i think. he does have to be good at designing it.

im hitting 35 next year. we need to get rid of this notion that after 35, a senior programmer needs to move towards administration or management. we do not stop being programmers just because we hit a certain age. me. im going to be a programmer for life. thats what i enjoy doing.

in the states, we had programmers who were 60+ years old. it was pointed out why people like us gain the desire to leave the country. its because of these age issues.

Good blog, major reason of course why senior talent leave the country is money, yep! For one lets keep an open mind, would you stay here in our country knowing that you could earn 3 times as much as you would normally do abroad? of course not, even kids nowadays dream is to leave the country, all they would say is that they would want to work abroad rather than to be dried up here, LOL
