Also, I've been interviewing around since December, and every company I've talked to, and several previous companies I've worked at, are all trying to hire mid to senior developers (java mostly, a former manager is trying to fill several .net positions). I"m getting hit up constantly on linkedin by recruiters. Through contacts, I've heard of no less 150 java/.net positions coming up, and this is a medium sized mid western city.

So, is anyone else seeing this? This is a demand for developers I've never seen before. And salaries are going up accordingly. I do know that some of these companies aren't competitive on pay. One offer I got recently, I was told they had to get sign off on my proposed salary from a senior exec and still low balled it. Just seems like a weird time in the job market.
