Problem

Programmers is not a general career advice site, but this tag has routinely been a honeypot for low-quality, broad, and general career questions; from career advice to workplace politics. We've attempted to clean this tag up a number of times in the past, and while we've made a significant dent in it (down from a high of 1,400 questions in July 2011), we still have a lot of work to do.

Previous attempts to clean up the tag:

Solution

  • Many questions in the tag are off-topic here and should be closed.
  • There are a number of highly upvoted—but closed—questions in the tag that need a final resolution: heroic edits to be reopened or deletion
  • The questions that do belong here need to be disambiguated:

for questions about taking steps to improve one's programming career and requires the unique insights of a programmer
for questions about interviewing for a software development position
for questions about hiring programmers and other software developers
for questions about the prospects or what one needs to do to get a specific job in software development
for questions about what a specific type of software development job entails
for questions about managing the scope and requirements of a specific project
for questions about working within a software development team

...and other, more specific tags as needed.
