Just look at the number of CMU’s IT listings [https://acis.as.cmu.edu/gale2/open/servlet/cmujobs](https://acis.as.cmu.edu/gale2/open/servlet/cmujobs) 62 as of now! I was suprised. Pitt also as a bunch ---

Hopefully that list will be just as long in March -\> April… (and the salary is more than what I make now) ---

people that think there are no jobs are the lazy people that don’t look… i have found an ample amount of jobs in the pittsburgh area for the past 4 years. :dunno: ---

its not that there aren’t jobs. its just hard to get a company to notice you. in my case, i was lucky enough to have a friend get me into a temp position, and then i just proved myself to them. ---

They do have a lot of jobs listed but they aren’t paying much. They have a job for a senior software engineer listed which requires a BS, 2-3 years of programming experience, and it only pays 32-60k. You could find better if you looked longer. Of course, it would probably be good for someone that wants to get a higher level degree from CMU. ---
