Hello Everyone
It is very tight. We are hiring COBOL consultants with McKesson HealthCare background for our projects, but we still will not hire permanently. On the Positive (and negative too) side, once you are hired we do not lay off, and we have great healthcare insurance through our own company, AultCare (online plug).

It's a tight market. I've been looking for over six months now.

Only a few of them were related to z/VM and z/Linux. It seems like the machine here just runs itself, and is so stable there is little need to spend time working on it. I love managing projects, but I really love managing projects on the mainframe. :) I was thinking it might be time to take stock of what options are available in the mainframe z/VM world. Are there positions out there for folks with five or six years of z/Linux and moderate z/VM experience? Or is the market so darn tight that it would be best to not even think of making a change? I suppose I could go back to programming CICS or whatever, but I am not sure I am willing to take the pay cut that would involve. -Paul
