[Tfug] Slightly OT: Market perspectives

[Judd Pickell]

Good Afternoon everyone,

I received a call this week from my boss (I work remotely from the home
office in Ohio), and it would seem at the end of the month I am out of a
job. Being in the game development field, if investment funding dries up, so
does the jobs for doing that kind of stuff; particularly for independent
companies like the one I am a part of.

So I am curious about the state of the market out there. I know we have many
people on these lists that are in the position to hire, or are very invested
in the IT markets here in Arizona. Before I start updating my resume, and
pounding the pavement I thought I would like an overview of what those
people see out there due to the basic castration of the market's good will
and faith.

I did have plans to move to Ohio, but given the current circumstances, I am
not sure sure if that is or will be a good idea. If the market here is bad,
it will most likely be as bad there as well. Not to mention moving without a
job is even harder.

So thoughts, ideas, cries of the apocolypse perhaps?

Sincerely,
Judd Pickell
Soon to be out of work. :)
