| Contractors generally cost more and so are cut during downturns. |

Its been tough for a while now, and with the christmas period nearly upon us, I suspect it will tough for a few more months yet!

It's traditionally the end of the recruiting period. Depending on when the accountants end the financial year, things pick up in January or April...

sir, I think India has lots of Openings in IBM. you can have a look at that. But I know, UK and US are facing such problems due to downturns in the market., I believe market should be up in next few months... probably the coming year. I also believe most of the companies has taken the shadow of this downturns of the market and has been releasing the talented resources to cut their prices and trying to keep itself up in the market... pretending !!
But I am sad for you, sir.

Hmm? And no doubt you'd be back on-shore very quickly thanks to an inter-company transfer
