In the last week or so, I've been contacted by three recruiters, one of which was a regular head hunter, while the other two were in the HR department for large Seattle-based software companies.
This is a very noticeable change for me, not just because they all called within a week of each other, but also because in the two years previous to this, I received no calls at all. That two-year dry spell was itself a noticeable change from the boom times, when I regularly received one or two calls a month.
I don't know whether this means that the job market is getting ready to pick up, or whether it just means that google happened to notice my resume. As a member of the proletariat, I hope it's a general trend, which is why I'm sharing it with all of you. Have you seen any change in the job market recently? I know my company is hiring as fast as we can, but that's just one datapoint.
