Supply and demand... there is A LOT of work out there right now. Many large companies are transforming to Web 2.0 or just evolving to become more targeted and efficient which requires more seasoned talent. (Versus Dot Coms chasing VC money and just filling seats...) Most companies today that were around during the boom (and survived the crash) are now bigger than they were during the boom and growing fast... they don't have time to grow people from scratch.
As demand increase, so too will compensation... until it gets high enough for people to be headhunted, afford to relocate, or brains drain in from related fields. And then later on it will slow down (or bust) and the cycle continues... -Andrew ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
