well if you are going to poke holes in my point, why not at least offer a dissenting opinion? Yes I am sure that the b-list software companies are not hiring. But many- it seems like almost all the top players- are hiring now. The competition is fierce for the jobs though, because the number of unemployed after this dotcom meltdown (dotcoms employed many borderline software people) overwhelms the openings. Just perusing the hotjobs listings for specific companies- intuit 165 jobs hotjobs.com bea 56 hotjobs.com SAP America (this is the consulting arm) 25 very general jobs hotjobs.com Autodesk 22 hotjobs.com Peoplesoft 36 hotjobs.com Hyperion 37 jobsearch.monster.com Macromedia 9 jobsearch.monster.com oracle 49 jobsearch.monster.com symantec 12 jobsearch.monster.com Microsoft adding 1,500 as part of hiring drive biz.yahoo.com And yes here are some large companies with almost no jobs just to put it in perspective Cisco 1 hotjobs.com SAP Portals (the b2b division) has zero jobs hotjobs.com So, what exactly is the point you are trying to make. Are software companies hiring or not? I say they are, because I have been watching these jobs postings for a year and I can tell you that last year at this time, the software hotjobs listings looked a lot like cisco.
