I am an IT industry vet, and I will tell you right now there are way more applicants than there are jobs.
Those phone calls from headhunters/recruiters – rest assured 99% probabilty they really don’t have a job and they will just waste your time.
I can tell from some comments above that many on this forum are newbies to IT.
Also, if you are over 40 – it’s even harder to get a decent job in IT.
IT is brutally competitive in basically all aspects and specialty fields (with the possible exception of defense companies).
If I were just starting out in my career, I would never go into IT. Especially now with offshoring and H1B’s.
