Heh.  I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Wasn't there an article on /. or salon a few
weeks ago about how to secure a $250k salary
in the Valley and live like a pauper?

Your situation doesn't sound strange, if you
know (or appear to know) what you're doing.
Employers are desperate for tech people, and
even MORE desperate for tech people who know
what they're doing.  One look at all of the
techpimp billboards around town (and pimp
job postings on tech-oriented mailing lists)
should give you an idea of the situation.
FWIW, a pimp will typically pay you ~$20-$50/hour,
and bill you out at ~$60-$120/hour.

I wonder if any companies in the Valley have
adopted the M$-style employee dorms.  That
would cut down on cost of living. :)


Git while the gittin's good, boy!
