I see the same jobs I interviewed for Months ago go back up on the boards again and again. Its getting to the point where a recuriter letter starts sounding like a Nigerian scam letter,... just something to waste my time with. I am not sure if its the language or the depression, but Breaking into this langugage is absurdly difficult.

At Betfair we have dedicated java teams so the UI teams only do UI. Doesn;t matter if it is Flex/Flash/HTML/ Ajax, we rarely touch the java code. You are not screwed you just need to find the right employer :).

I mean that's ridiculous , last year there were just a few companies who were requiring some Java Knowledge now 80% of the job ads for Flex Developers (on dice.com) require some Knowledge in java. I understand that it is probably to connect to back end servers. My question is : How much knowledge are we talking about here?? I know nothing about Java. so I guess I am screwed? You end up finishing learning Flex to find out that they require another core technology!! That;'s stupid. Thank you.
