Reply #39: I've had at least two offers over the past two months

[fujiyama]

and one pending one that I'm waiting to see if it pans out. And that's mainly by just having my resume online.

The economy in certain areas is not the way people on DU make it out to be. But then again, I guess I'm just "settling" for offers over 75k...Yes, some are contract and you to pay for benefits, but rates are picking up again and the offers are over 10k more than I was making a year ago.

And for all the talk of outsourcing, I don't feel threatened at all, because I'm comfortable and confident in my skill sets that I will find work. This isn't to defend corporate America's strategy over the last few years, but all my engineering friends that I graduated with five years ago are gainfully employed. So the degree counts for a lot.
