#2More realistically Why is there shortage of engineers who are young, smart (no, not the looks), excellent on data structures and algorithms, has good knowledge on bigdata, loves analytics, has awesome great frontend development skills?

Because all those engineers are already employed, or if they're not, they have their own projects they're working on.

Because large companies have come to falsely believe that supply and demand don't apply to them. Large companies want people with Windows and Linux experience, mostly to work on dreary Windows projects, at code-monkey prices. Pay more, and you'll see more good candidates.

#5There are probably local shortages in certain areas like Silicon Valley, and a surplus in others. the shortage wouldn't be as bad if remote work were more common.

#6A lot of companies don't care to train them anymore.

#7if you are asking why more people don't take up engineering I would tell you that you need to think what percentage of the population has the cognitive ability to write code day in/out and then filter the list for personal characteristics,hobbies,jobs that were given to them, equal opportunities etc. Then think of how much our society has switched focus to software development in the last decade.

#9For hyper environments like SV, probably because there is a shortage of hyper individuals in the general population.
For more general environments, it's probably not a shortage of engineers, just a shortage of engineers who will enthusiastically work at the rates that employers would prefer to pay.

#10The question is too general. There are shortage for certain requirements of engineer. For example experienced engineer to build self driving car is in shortage, or engineer understand high speed trading.
I don't think there is a shortage for engineer without much real world experiences.
