As I was saying in a side conversation with Susan, in better news: the market for independent (contract) UXDers seems to be revivifying, finally. I've had several good conversations in the last month with recruiters for positions and pay scales that are in line with my interests and my experience. So perhaps that particular drought is at an end.
I think it will take at least another six months for the full-time/perm market to catch up. People's budgets simply aren't there yet, even if their needs are. -Anne On Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 3:45 PM, j. eric townsend <j...@flatline.net> wrote: > Anne Hjortshoj wrote: >> >> So in other words, people want to pay for 1-3 years of experience, but >> they want to get a laundry list of massive skillz. > > That's what my wife has been running into lately.
