I'm not sure I believe this... I haven't seen a sysadmin job around here for a couple years... (unless you count Montreal, but I'm not moving to Quebec...)
It is happening. Companies start to be more and more aware of the high cloud costs. Cloud is nice to spin up a project and have some elasticity in the performance requirements. But once it's running more stable and predictable it tends to be cheaper to have it running on premise.
Currently in the middle of an EKS to on-prem OKD migration for a large company. It’s definitely happening- on prem with negotiated power/connectivity contracts, datacenter space, and hardware is a fraction of the cost of AWS at a certain scale. DC space includes remote hands but we could even throw in a few DC tech full timers and still save a ton of money.
You have not seen one? I assume the problem is you, then.
The person you're replying to is responsible for what is posted on job boards/sites?
I think the point they are making is there are plenty of jobs around for sys admin, but GP is not looking in the right places.
No, but bro's trying to say that in a region with 100s of 1000s of people no one is looking for a sysadmin? That's like saying the sky isn't blue.
it happens, especially in September when budget is not plenty.
Plenty of MSP work though
The thing I don't like about contract/outsourcing is the uncertainty... I'd rather be at a place where I know I don't have to worry about my next job...
