There is almost no chance that the city can attract skilled IT workers, unless it's folks at the beginning of their careers or someone who's only competent on paper.

IT pay is already higher than median pay in the US (55K or so), and IT is an industry where the norm is quickly becoming hybrid schedules (1-2 days a week out).

On top of that, the lack of decent promotional options makes it awful for an IT worker long term. Most IT folks can change jobs every 2-3 years and get a nice salary bump. No such equivalent in the city.

I just don't see how the city can attract IT folks. It's not rational to work for the city.
