Not that I've seen. Right now, they want certs, and they want experience, and they want to pay as little as possible. And they'll be able to find that person. I've talked to a couple of recruiters who are seeing resumes from IT folks formerly making $70-$80k applying for $40k jobs. DHL announced they were opening an IT center out here, and supposedly got about 5 thousand resumes for about 50 positions. Yesterday I heard from someone that had over 700 resumes for a position. Some company that is apparently doing a very large w2k migration has been rejecting experienced NT4-w2k migration people with certs because they hadn't worked on "large enough" migrations.
Someday, the economy will come back, and all the underpaid folks will jump to better paying jobs. -----Original Message----- From: Snook, Kevin S (ITD) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 7:38 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: For Kevin Miller Do hiring people still talk about the "T" shape candidate. This doesn't refer to their physical shape although I guess it might. It refers to the fact that mostly recruiters want a guy with a broad experience of different technologies with in-depth knowledge of one or maybe two technologies. Just wundrin' coz it was all the rage when I left college (but that was some time ago now!).

Although I do agree that many kids go in with much higher $$ thoughts these days, instead of the love of protocols (JK), I don't think that 60-90K is all that high either. It all depends on your market, experience, and abilities. Market is a huge factor. I was offered a job that paid 3 times what I make here, simply due to market differences. Keep in mind that I make about $4.25/hour here on the Tex-Mex border though...jk -----Original Message----- From: Schwartz, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 7:20 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: For Kevin Miller He was an IBM Global Services guy and knew Cobol like he wrote the language. During Y2K, they would pay anyone who could write code some serious cake. The reason that the CIO's and CTO's make the $300k - $600k kind of money is due to all the medical care they need to have after having the lobotomy and spine removal surgeries. -----Original Message----- From: Ely, Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 9:56 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: For Kevin Miller Well, where are these high paying jobs at.

I've seen contracts for a whole hell of a lot more than that. I think the largest I've seen was $525 an hour plus expenses. If you were talking salary then 150hr x hours x 52 weeks = $312,000.00. Add in about 45% for benefits and taxes = $452,400.00 in salary costs. Not worth that. No offense to Don or anyone else. -----Original Message----- From: Mal Sasalu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 4:53 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: For Kevin Miller I am not cheap.
