Sorry to bring it up again ..



>From what I've seen based on the group of folks that I personally know, it
seems to be getting better.  The calls are slowly starting again,  however
most seem to have quit looking in the consulting arenas as it's just too damn
volatile.  A few guys have left the industry, others have secured "9-5" type
jobs, but the majority are still looking.

On a related note, I'm heading out of the (ahem) self-employed arena starting
Monday; after 7 separate interviews and the background check from hell, I
secured a position as a Senior Security Analyst for a 'Large Financial.'

So it would seem for some the view is changing, while for others the
landscape is still quite bleak.
