Interesting question, I would like to see what everyone else says. >From my experience being a consultant is the only way to go in the Denver area. Very few people seem to be hiring full time information security people here. There seems to be a need for security work, however. This makes for lots of short term contracts. The company I am currently working with has been keeping a constant flow of short term work. This is mainly due to a VERY aggressive sales guy. I -think- much of the market is like that at the moment. If my last company didnt relocate me from NYC before laying me off, I may have reported something differently. It may be time to leave the tech world and open a bar, anyone with me? :-) Thats my 3.14159 cents. Michael Henry Security BOFH Longmont, CO
