Here's ECO's article on the fresh Landing.Jobs Global Tech Talent Trends 2024 Report - Portugal edition. Ana Marcela did a great job analysing and summarising its insights on this article piece (strongly suggest reading it). The IT Work market is in a low condition, showing a lack of confidence on both Talent and Company sides. It seems no one wants to give a step out of the last crisis cycle and resume investment in creating new products (or evolving existing) to foster competitive advantages. IT Professionals have lost some of it's bargaining power to companies, and most companies are still mostly in hiring freeze mode (even if they say otherwise.) It's a strange situation, but I'm hopeful this situation is also a correction of some wrongdoings and a preparation for a major jump in this market. My bet be would be that 2024H1 will still be pretty most a 'still' year, but on 2024H2 stuff is going to start heating up, and the market machine will prepare for a new strong growth cycle. This is just my hypothesis, but would love to know your perspectives on this. I leave you some highlights to sharpen your appetite for the report (which you can download here https://lnkd.in/d9Zmb55q) ➡️ IT Salaries didn't grow from 2023 to 2024, signalling a clear market slowdown (average gross annual salary is at 46.5K€) ➡️ The percentage of IT Professionals in Portugal working remotely to a company abroad reduced from 22.6% to 16% ➡️ Hybrid work lost ground to both full-office work and full-remote work ➡️ The Gender Salary grap grew to 36% (males earning more than females), a terrible blow to diversity efforts ➡️ The percentage of IT Professionals in Portugal relocated from other countries grew to 15.7% If you thinks this is relevant content for your communities, please share. And would deeply appreciate your comments and perspectives, as this is a topic of deep importance for both tech talent and companies.

"How to develop a 15 Trillion opportunity in the Private Markets", this was an inFocus at CNN Portugal topic discussed by our Chairman and CEO, Lawrence Calcano, André Themudo (Head of Wealth Iberia - BlackRock Iberia), Leslie Rubio (Country Officer, Portugal - Citi) and Jose Maria Soares Franco, CFA (Managing Director - Itau Private Bank) moderated by the great journalist Pedro Santos Guerreiro.   "Allocation to alternatives is small across the world when compared to the potential market size and if we have in consideration that just 20% of the advisors drive 80% of the flows" we can see how much we can do in terms of Education for this asset class. But we can start by all of us, listening to this conversation :) 🗣 Podcast link: https://lnkd.in/er3dqguX   📹 Video link: https://lnkd.in/eNRdN2ju

So here is the question... what is different about Portuguese providers compared to the US? Is it because they don't price people out? Is it because the CX is good including bundling? Or is it that they have not yet caught up with the move to single OTT providers being seen as providing full Television Platform Providers? Particularly when loosely aggregated with others? This is the question for every operator today.

Portugal generated approximately 95% of its electricity needs from renewable sources in April of this year and about 91% from renewables for the first four months of 2024. Hydro made up 48% of generated power, wind was 30%, and solar was 7%. Portugal ranks third in Europe for wind power generation behind Denmark and Ireland. https://lnkd.in/g7WDpZA8 #sustainability #sustainabilityreporting

NHR is back! (actually it never really went away, it was just another political sleight of the hand). Portugal's Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) was a big fuss in the recent past, as political pressure to the former government led them to 'terminate' NHR (stupid and populist decision, IMO), and word spread amongst foreigners considering Portugal for relocation that it was over. Many people have I talked to who told me this put an end to their plans to move to Portugal, some of them with the goal of creating companies here (usually as local branches of their companies). Word was these 'rich foreigners' were driving an inflation of living costs for everyone and making it much harder for Portuguese citizens to make a living. In my opinion this was and is bullshit. The problem is that we live in an open economy and liberal society, and if we want to continue doing so we cannot be part of that 'club' only when it's comfortable and no change needs to be faced: exposure to external economic and social forces is part of the game, and drives us to improve. We're not a rich country, but there are some who believe we can be if we manage ourselves better, and those who just want a status quo that keeps the mediocre privileges and position they're able to get, rejecting all that might jeopardize that. Portugal needs highly qualified people from abroad to choose living here. We need their culture, their knowledge, their money, their experience, their pressure, their choice. This presents challenges? It does, and Portugal is in much need of them to change and improve. https://lnkd.in/dpcPjSee
