you've been an active whinger of MM and CF for over a year, if you think MM is so bad, why don't you get a job using Java ?
I find it hard to believe you have trouble getting a CF job at present, unless you don't want to travel outside your suburb,
I know of 3 companies who can't get CF devs, I know other companies who can't get .net devs and are paying top $
a recruiter says there is only 2 cf jobs in Sydney and you believe a recruiter ?
how on earth would a recruiter know how many jobs there are in Sydney ?
most companies recruit internally.
I also know of 2 companies in Sydney who between them have employed over 9 CF devs in the past month.
The only shortage to do with CF is a shortage of CF devs, not CF jobs.
Stop being so picky, be prepared to relocate if your a contractor, or if there is 500 C++ jobs across the road then become a C++ dev and prove everyone wrong.
As for companies moving to other languages, I've been contacted by companies who are moving from Java to CF because of CF's less code required ability.
Just like windows shops are moving to linux, there is some linux shops moving to windows. as you'll always have some CF shops moving to .net and .net shops moving to CF j2ee
there is a lot of companies heavily invested in a certain language and couldn't afford to re-write years and years worth of code to other languages.
If the job issue is the language and not you, then simply go for jobs of diff languages, if you don't want to learn another language, then feel free to follow my rule when it comes to "I can't find a job" arguments, which is "you can always pick fruit"
there are thousands of fruit picking jobs that can't be filled all over Australia,
With all jobs and all industry's there is always different times of the year where jobs are more abundant then others.
My most friendly tips for you would be
- Be more persistent
- Get a full time role
- Learn a new language
- Be willing to relocate.
- Pick fruit
