Subject:Agencies are desperate in this area (NYC) From:John Posada <jposada01 -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 12 Dec 2000 12:29:06 -0800 (PST)
Hi, guys...just something I'd like to pass along. This really isn't a
discussion issue and I probably won't respond to anything on-list.
Until my contract was renewed through Feb., (because they're having
trouble finding a someone to take my place at my contract) I'd
started looking for a replacement contract. Over the last two weeks,
I've discovered that the agencies in this area (NY Metro) are
desperate. I'm gettiing 8-10 calls/emails per day, every day, and
when I tell them that when I start looking again in Feb that I'll be
asking at least $70-77/hr, they don't seem to blink.
If you ever wanted to make the break but were afraid to do so, I've
NEVER seen it more active than right now.
