Across all disciplines including application development, infrastructure, project delivery, business analysis etc., there is a wealth of IT job opportunities.
The IT job market is very much candidate led. There is an increased competition for strong candidates and increased frequency of active candidates having multiple job offers with counter-offers becoming more of an issue.
There is stiff competition for qualified candidates within software engineering, all data focused roles and increasingly systems administration and networking.
There is also evidence that IT professionals are staying in their jobs for longer. Many companies in the last number of years have improved their benefits packages, given more significant annual salary increases and invested more heavily in training and career development.
