So how to otherwise recognise them? From what they claim on CV and claim that they can do? A university diploma or degree is a validation of their knowledge to a certain extent. Otherwise all universities might as well close down.

Sure you can speak on behalf of the whole market! No one asked you to evaluate me or my levels. seems a bit off topic.

Well lets say this can be the case. But inflation rarely reflects on salaries of such professions. If the case was minimal salary then correct. However inflation rates and cost of living not always reflect the labour market in all sectors.

In UK a Senior Engineer would be lucky to make 40-50k GBP but a flat costs 1000-1500£ if you want to live in peace.

Thoughts are welcome if want to have a constructive comment or criticism as long as they relate to the topic.

DOU topics start to become a pile of garbage talk otherwise.

Perhaps forgot to read :

“Any constructive comments?”

Thats true but a lot of companies have strict criteria. And if you want to assume my words as “Ukrainian universities suck” then its your perspective.

I am trying to explain the level of technical qualification may not be the same in USA and Ukraine. Are you saying Ukrainian universities are at same standard as USA?

First screening of a potential candidate is done from University degrees. Whether they can do the job or not is the next step if they somehow manage to highlight their superpowers in their CV.

Well to be a developer in USA you probably need to have a degree in IT. Ukraine IT is also driven a lot by courses online or in institutes.

By research it appears the topics covered even in Universities are a bit behind USA so how does this make sense?

It has room to grow but perhaps there is no generalisation of someone who has done a masters degree in IT at an american university vs Ukraine.

I did masters in Information Systems from one of the top universities in Australia and one of the top ranking in the world at that time but curriculum comparison showed US has a more up to date subject list.

I am not invalidating the statistics but wondering what does a one year experience mean. For instance if you are developing in wordpress for a year and you consider yourself as a front end developer such as someone doing angular is it really the same thing?

Java can be making simple applications or can be enterprise grade business logic so one year experience is different in both positions. So how to evaluate this?
