RE: Death of the AS/400 (was Death of the RPG Programmer, List Activity)

[Krys_Theodore@xxxxxxxx]

My 2 cents.  I have been looking for PAs and SAs for months.  We are
offering a good wage.  About the only people who are crossing my desk were
newbies who got into consulting firms because they needed bodies for Y2K
projects.  They were let go 'when the jobs dried up' and are now looking
for something else.  Those with experience and/or strong natural abilities
are staying where they are.

Looking for staff in all the wrong places?

Hmmmm..... from what I have heard form headhunters, they have more
positions
than they can find people to fill.   Even we are looking for a programmer
and we aren't getting much in the way of resumes.  But I do agree with the
money issue.  I think that the employers looking to hire, aren't looking
for
the $55 and up programmer.  They are looking for someone more affordable.

*** contracts _AND_ permanent employment on the AS/400 seem to be pretty
much dead ***
