on 11/8/19 at 11:18 am to Fun BunchI remember when EA (I think) opened up a testing facility right by LSU when I was in undergrad

those are pretty shitty jobs. ask any tester at EA in baton rouge.
Yeah. Everyone has such delusions of grandeur about being a tester when in reality it's, "hey, run into this wall for 6 hours to see if you glitch through."

It sounds like the pay will be pretty good.

"Testronic will provide entry-level technology jobs in New Orleans as a gateway to the digital gaming and interactive entertainment industry," the company said in a statement. "Testing employees will gain valuable technology and communications skills for advancing in the industry."
Work for our college grads so they can hang around a bit after graduation. Or other young people. Eventually if we don't get some higher end jobs, they will leave.
But a big criticism of this state is we don't have enough entry level professional jobs.

on 11/8/19 at 11:55 am to Fun BunchTech industry is doing well in Nola. Accruent, DXC, Revelry, and a few other places are all going to be hiring big time in 2020.

on 11/8/19 at 11:56 am to yaboidarrellIs DXC actually hiring people from the area? There were rumors damn near every job was being filled by H1Bs

Not as much as the NOLA Culture people will when they realize that Tech Money People don't like brass bands playing near their neighborhood.

If this is accurate, then it may be mixed.

Professional, implementation, and consulting services always exist in every market. What you want are people in your area with customers from outside your area.
I think some of that is happening but my beef with some of these deals is that local companies pay taxes that are in turn used to subsidize their larger competitors (DXC, for example). It’s somewhat messed up.
DXC is moving towards the h1b route as far as I can tell but they have been hiring some locals too. All my technical interactions with DXC as a customer were with foreigners, but YMMV.
The QA companies like EA and Testronic are bringing in jobs that don’t cannibalize local jobs. my understanding is that they pay about what Walmart pays but I have no first hand knowledge.
