It's funny you should mention Madison... While I'm originally from D/FW (and looking at Austin) I currently live in Appleton, Wisconsin and was looking at the Madison area for jobs. I didn't find one single recruiter that would call me back. NOT ONE. I must have sent out well over 30 resumes. I'm CCNP certified with 7 years of experience. You would think that I would have got one phone call/email.
I don't know what is up with the Madison area. Madison was my wifes first school choice (and she actually got in) but damned if I didn't find any kind of a job that would support us. I finally got some response from a few Dallas companies so I am headed back in that direction for now. Just looking at to the Austin area for the future (as long as she needs to be in school. After the baby. ) Geez. It's a small world. :) -- Jeff Harris - Cisco/Unix Engineer CCNP - Cisco Certified Network Professional On Thu, Jul 11, 2002 at 03:37:28PM +0000, Tom Scott wrote: > Puckette, Larry (TIFPC) wrote: > > > It's been some time ago but last time I went to the web and used one of the > > comparison calculators for Austin and Dallas I could take a 25% pay cut to > > live at same standards in Dallas.
