I can't stress this enough.

In Germany all kinds of industries have been whining about shortages for ages, but in reality they're all looking for unicorns that work for peanuts in combination with an absolute unwillingness to train anyone (let someone else or big gov foot the bill, if that doesn't work cry for immigration reforms).

In the US, it's popular for Valley companies to complain that they can't hire for what they're willing to pay, but at the same time they are totally unwilling to train—if you're a developer who wants to advance and improve your skillset, well, that is going to be up to you on your nights and weekends. Funny how that works.
