I'm in IT, have been for 8 years. 2000-2002 was a pretty rough stretch, but the job market has picked up in Dallas and I am now working for more money than I ever made before. I am still receiving 2-3 calls per week of eomploers and agencies trying to fill jobs... in fact, I turned down an interview with Microsoft just last week.
What kind of systems do you work on?
Are you writing software or maintaining systems?
Willie's just helping Kerry out here a bit.
I've been in IT around the same amount of time, and haven't had an issue either. I do know that I've had to remain a moving target, swapping specialties whenever prudent. One cannot just have an MCP and assume employment for life.
I just got hired after 14 mos. of uncompensated un/under employment. It feels really good.
