Sheep running off the cliff

Some company job sites show hundreds of job requisitions for software engineers (in the broad sense) in India, along with a handful of software engineer positions scattered across the U.S. Many of those job ads seems to have been sitting there untouched for time periods on the order of years.

"Of every 100 offers made, about 50-60% don’t take the offer at the junior level (0-4 years experience), opine consultants. And the trend of either not turning up for a job at the last minute or leaving within a month or two has now bitten middle and senior-level people as well. While about 40% is the estimated figure for dropouts in the middle level, 30% of senior staff don’t turn up on their first day of work at the new company. However, dropouts at a very senior level (director and CXO levels) are only a handful..."
