I'm considering a move to SLC from DC. I'm ? 5-6 years into my career at this point, mostly on the project management/analysis side of IT. All of my work has been for federal gov clients. I'm trying to assess my job prospects in SLC. How big is the market for tech/IT work? For those of you in the tech industry, do you have a hard time finding work?

I live in SLC and work in tech - it’s pretty big here. Many companies (like everywhere else) have been doing layoffs lately, but I’d say still a lot of opportunities overall.

Moved to SLC from Chicago 11 years ago, and it was a little tricky for me to find work for about a year. I worked remotely for Sears for that year until I could break into the local market. Admittedly, my head might not have been entirely in the game at first, so YMMV. Like others have said, there have been multiple rounds of layoffs, but there are still opportunities — just be sure to research and discuss the financial viability of any potential employer.

Read up on Utah Business magazine and the nonprofit Silicon Slopes. They provide pretty good coverage of the tech players out here.

If you want to stick with government IT, there’s a big Air Force base north of SLC that’s always hiring. Most of the tech here is actually south of the city and not huge companies aside from adobe.

That's good to know. Thanks for the tips.

The Job market is very strong here. Look into the Silicon Slopes. Most of the Tech companies in Utah are located in Utah County.

Hi fishes, anyone here who moved from India to Spain? I need some insights from someone who has made this transition.

How do you get good at thinking on your feet? I find I always need time to think and analyse before being able to answer client queries (even those that are considered simple by others). I don't want to rush and get it wrong. I avoid phone calls for this reason which isn't great when you're in the service industry so it's starting to impact my career.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?
