Sorry I also consider the CF job market here to be very buoyant, especially up in Brisbane, I am from London the land of opportunity..... but there is much more opportunity for CF developers here, state and local government, major financial and many independents are using CF, I can only name 1 county council and a few medium size companies using CF in the UK let alone a regional area I was a Allaire and Macromedia partner in the UK and I was only aware of 1 house hold name using the technology "Orange (Huchinson Telecom)" and they used it for their intranet! the web site uses ASP (or did 2 years ago). The market here is LARGE in comparison, the developers are good and the jobs are growing in number every month. I was used to competing with 30 - 40 equally qualified and experienced developers for each and every contract. Here I am committing with one or two may be three or four each time. I used to work on a 35 / 52 week employed basis in the UK here I landed in Jan found work in 10 days and have not had a gap since. moved form one contract to the next without gaps.
I am contacted by recruiters at least 2 times a week, thats a new experience... I'm used to chasing them or ringing early to get in before the other 40 - 50 applicants get to them. Its not a bad market at all here in Brisbane and Australia at all. Of course the money is not the same here! but the weather is better!
