For two reasons, posts will be a bit scarce this week. I'm moving house and I'm interviewing for two different jobs. With any luck, all will go smoothly (with the house move). I'm fairly confident about the job interviews as they are both for positions I've held before.
I think the high-tech market is stabilizing enough that a full-time position seems like a better prospect than continued consulting. I cannot really attribute it to the Republican tax initiatives though. I think its probably the same cycle of boom and bust that we've had in high-tech since the early 1980s. Firms have "leaned down" to the minimum staff necessary to function efficiently and as they take on new clients now need new staff.
It's nice to see firms adding program and project managers though. I've always thought that they should be some of the first team members chosen as a firm upsizes.
