RE: An observation

John,

My experience in New York is that this can be highly cyclical. When I worked
on Wall Street, I would build and train a F/T staff, then be told that the
department had to reduce head count. I'd then start bringing in
temps/consultants as replacements, and then a year later, I'd be told that
we needed to reduce our budget by staffing with F/T hires.

And then the process would repeat -- usually a three year cycle. <g>

Maybe I wasn't clear in what my point was.

What I'm find odd is that previously, most of the gigs I'd come across were
consulting. Now, they seem to have shifted to FT. 

Does this say something about the current business environment?
