RE: CF Job Market
I don't think it's all about salary. Most people from my experience who have been using CF for longer periods of time, 10+ years, don't use CF in a way that truly leverages the oop attributes of the language. In fact more times then not the longer someone has been using CF the higher the chances they use it in a procedural capacity. This is especially true if CF has been for the most part the only language they feel comfortable with. But even in circumstances where they know Java or .Net when one sits down to do CF if they are veteran of the language they revert to the procedural form. Jr. to Mid level developers can often times imply that they have only been exposed to the J2EE platform versions of CF, especially if they have a comp sci degree where they are taught Java and C++. They program oop if for no other reason then they don't know how to do it any other way. So not only do you get the cheaper salary but you get someone with all the benefits of a true oop background..

I'm a Senior level CF Developer with 10+ years experience. I am wondering what the job market is looking like out there for us senior type CF developers with the economy the way it is here in the US. What I'm concerned about most that I see is more job descriptions asking for mid-level and junior developers, and lower salaries for those as well. I'm wondering if I might have trouble finding a job when the time comes because my salary demands would be too high and/or the employer would rather pay someone a lower salary for less experience, thinking they are getting the same efficiency. Please share whatever your thoughts are on this topic. I think this thread will be useful for anyone visiting it in the next 12-18 months, so let's really try to provide some good 'intel', if you will on the 'near future' CF market. Thanks!

Given the current market, that wouldn't be acceptable. You're still asking someone to carry two mortgages for up to 120 days, and Kroger would need to buy the house at fair market value, as determined by an independent appraiser.

When/if Kroger relocates someone they valuate the house and buy it out after 90 or 120 days (something like that, at least they used to do this). Oh and did I mention we are hiring right now if anyone is interested in relocating to a city that is actually flat in housing values instead of declining ;) Seriously if you are interested we are hiring Cincinnati Ohio, anyone? anyone?
