You also have to remember to give the opportunity to those that are in the Mid Range but are eager to learn and move forward. I dont mean to make your team full of Wannabes but I hope more people were willing to give an opportunity to those who seem to not be quite there yet but have a chance.

I agree with you about those job postings that require the friggin' moon and back. I raked someone else over the coals for posting a job like that earlier with a crapy pay scale. I know that blitz has posted on this list recently with a large list of requirements, but honestly, you shouldn't

that's the problem - they're hard to find. When I was at blitz, must have interviewed everyone in Los Angeles that even thought about Actionscript / flash. Good ones were extremely hard to find, and they were either already working for us or 2-3 competitors. there just aren't many out there.

one thing I've been trying to champion is to embrace more telecommuters and take an aggressive stance on it where they go after people not wanting to relocate. I think when companies finaly come to grips with letting people work from home, and learn how to filter out bad eggs (people who get

I have been on this list for years and have seen all the job postings and have posted some myself. I am looking to hire 5 Flex 2.0 and 3 flash developers. I have tried posting on dice and monster and have yet to get resumes that come close to the qualifications that I need. So I have to ask where

paul barnes-hogget had an argument about supply and demand in the flex/flasharena which i thought is very apt. he stated that as flex and flash is such a hot technology the demand is very high, thus with normal market factors wages tend to rise. big companies want to use the technology, but due

I completely agree with Johannes approach. Knowledge of the ins and outs of flash/flex/actionscript isn't half as important as an ability to pick up new technologies, follow best practices and work effectively as a member of a team. I think if you ask if they can do something, and they can't

I totally agree with John. Either you put up with what your city has to offer, try to get people to move, or you go after telecommuting talent. I'm based in Boston and we have a pretty big pool of talented Flash/Flex developers and it's still hard to find people that are willing to change jobs or
