Where do you live and how's the IT market in your area?

The IT market is not bad here in NY for qualified and experienced IT pros; but it's tough for the less experienced.

It's great here in Detroit, all the Japanese companies around here are expanding at a pretty good rate. Also, the reductions by the big 3 are generally not in information systems. In fact, the big 3 are expanding in info systems development.

Another note, the Japanese don't care about certs, they only care about experience+degrees, so the value of certs has really gone down the past couple years as the Japanese companies expand.

If you are lucky to find one be prepared to be worked like a slave .They take full advantage of qualified people and the state of IT here is so bad,it makes me wanna cry

Not bad in Canada, I bill out $100/hr and am ran offf my feet all day long.

Nice thing about being a consultant is the quick and easy calls in the downtown core... Rack up huge hours and still be at home by 6.

Living in the UK just outside London and theres loads of jobs in london and all the way along what is called the "Green Belt"

Move outside these areas and theres virtually nothing!

The key for people in the uk is London or the M4!

For experience the pay is very good, its hard to break it without experience.

I live in Kansas and I would say the IT market isnt so good. However if you do have experience and know what your doing you can make a good wage, but that seems true anywhere you go.

From the Washington, DC area (United States).

There are many jobs to choose from. Arguably the most job offers in the United States. Even though I dont make 100/hr like the consultant, I make a fairly descent wage.
