Good Afternoon everyone,

I received a call this week from my boss (I work remotely from the home office in Ohio), and it would seem at the end of the month I am out of a job. Being in the game development field, if investment funding dries up, so does the jobs for doing that kind of stuff; particularly for independent companies like the one I am a part of.

So I am curious about the state of the market out there. I know we have many people on these lists that are in the position to hire, or are very invested in the IT markets here in Arizona. Before I start updating my resume, and pounding the pavement I thought I would like an overview of what those people see out there due to the basic castration of the market's good will and faith.

I did have plans to move to Ohio, but given the current circumstances, I am not sure sure if that is or will be a good idea. If the market here is bad, it will most likely be as bad there as well. Not to mention moving without a job is even harder.

So thoughts, ideas, cries of the apocolypse perhaps?

Sincerely,
Judd Pickell
Soon to be out of work. :)
