> Considering stapling this to the face of the next person in Houston that bitches about not being able to find engineering talent.

What kind of work do you do? I work for a non-enterprise Java shop (NLP) up in Dallas. We have trouble finding people worth interviewing, but since I started 2.5 years ago have only had one offer extended and rejected.

EDIT: On the flip side, I have had major trouble trying to get places in Dallas, Austin, and Houston to even talk to me when I have been looking. It took me two years to get what I have now, and my testing of the market recently has been met with silence.




I'm looking for a full-time position, in/from a top-20 (but not top-5) city, and experience the complete fuckup of software recruiting weekly.

Voodoo and witchcraft. That's the state of the art in software interviewing.
