cool... I wasn't worried.. As much as companies are laying off there's still demand for IT people.. And not as many companies sponsor h1bs anymore...

So we IT guys have an edge this round... Congrats on the quick turnaround..

I've done one of those before...along with a perm application. Lots of work and $$$.

Are you from another country? Why would you need an h1b or did you sponsor someone..?

The axe fell at my company today. 50 folks out of 1000 or so. Only one person in my dept.

Somebody else. We bought out a competitor last summer and the guy who had my job with them got laid off. I feel bad for the guy, but it was a redundant position and spared any cuts from other people in the dept.

k, read it the wrong way.

damn... times are tuff. I landed a job but totally hate it, work is interesting but my bosses (yes plurality) are just full of themselves.
