I sure haven't seen any slump. I, too, still get periodic calls from
agencies,
even though I've been happily employed at the same place for the past
two and a half years.
In fact, we're hiring, and still looking for people to fill our openings.
Anyone available who can document object-oriented software development
tools? Wanna work in Marin County, just a bit north of Silicon Valley?
Let's talk :)
