UK IT professionals are starting to be significantly less ambitious and career-minded as a result
of the expanding function pressures they face in the course of the recession,
Office 2010 Activation, as outlined by
investigation.
The most current quarterly employment examine from
recruitment
consultancy Badenoch & Clark suggested that 45 per cent of IT workers
say they have put off their occupation development plans, with only seven per cent
using the downturn as an opportunity to additional their career.
The outcome, in accordance with Badenoch & Clark, is “an industry distinctly
lacking in ambition”.
“The IT sector has until recently been relatively shielded from the downturn,

but we’re beginning to see some signs that it’s starting to have an impact,”
said Matt Gascoigne, associate director at the recruitment firm.
“There are still plenty of opportunities out there,

contract market and the public sector,

the weight of growing commercial pressures.
IT workers need to realise that profession development does not have to mean
looking for a new job,

“The pressures that are hitting career plans could be harnessed for the
better – employers are increasingly asking their people to take on extra
responsibilities and tasks as budgets get squeezed,” he said.
“Those opportunities could considerably add to the skillsets of IT
experts and equip them to move up the profession ladder when the opportunity
arises.”
The research also suggested that 37 per cent of IT specialists leave their
career development in the hands of their line managers and senior executives.
“IT experts need to take more charge of their careers,” said Gascoigne.
“Shifting full responsibility onto time-poor line managers will only stall
careers further and cause engagement and motivation to falter.”
