[LRUG] Where would you look for a job or next hire?

[Najaf Ali]

+1 for hacker jobs. I've been hired through it once and have come in for
meetings with leads from there on multiple occasions. Generally high
standard of client.

As a dev you'll need to bring your sales and negotiation skills to the
table, but in this market that isn't particularly hard[1]. You also get the
benefit of building a direct relationship with the client, which is great
for ongoing work and referrals.

[1] In negotiating parlance, in todays market your
BATNA<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_alternative_to_a_negotiated_agreement>
is
*always* better than the hirers. You can walk into another job with
fizzbuzz and a pulse (optional). They get to watch their business
initiatives slip even further into the distance. Enjoy it while it lasts!
