Just a quick question: Where are all the interface and software  
designers in Silicon Valley? Has everyone just packed up and left or  
what? I see more job listings, postings and calls for resumes and yet  
there seem to be even fewer people to fill the jobs than ever before.  
I used to have trouble hiring at Adobe back in the late 1990s mostly  
due to the high experience and training requirements needed to work  
on software at that level, but that was before there was an influx of  
people and talent into software related products, especially from the  
web. And yet, now it seems that there's an even bigger gap in the  
designer to available job ratio than every before. Everyone I know is  
having trouble filling hiring requirements.

Is it that the job requirements needed to get hired are too high? Not  
enough trained designers? Or is it something only happening in  
Silicon Valley? Browse the job listings and postings everywhere from  
companies in Silicon Valley and it seems we have a distinct lack of  
designers ready to fill all the openings.

Opinions?
