With skilled workers still in demand, a growing question is where all this tech talent ultimately lands — and how long it takes. One sector making a play for it: the federal government.
DelBene spent 30 years at Microsoft, including a stint as president of its Office division, before joining the VA earlier this year. He's hoping to capitalize on the availability of laid-off tech talent by positioning the VA as a place where engineers and software designers can"really sink their teeth into designing and redesigning new systems" to make the agency a digital-first organization.
DelBene said he's navigating around these challenges. On the salary front, he's working to close about 60% of the pay gap that exists between IT jobs in the private sector and the federal government by building a special salary rate for IT professionals. He's confident it will be approved by the Office of Personnel Management early next year.
