its a good time to be looking, not great but much better than many other markets right now.

im lucky almost 16 years experience, working on my CCIE, and working for some of the largest consulting firms in the world has made it even easier for me.


also massive experience in voice and wireless has helped a lot (was the Sr voip architect for a regional bank in California for a couple years Smiley )

I hope so.  I've got my resume up on Monster, my university job board, and sent some to friends/classmates and hopefully something will pan out.  Gotta get started on paying off my student loans soon.

Got a couple calls from Monster but the jobs weren't exactly what I'm looking for.  One was for demo'ing a company's software to customers that their sales team locates.  So I'd just be learning about their product instead of a skillset that I can bring with me to another place.

The other was just from a headhunter company that wants to hole me up in helpdesk and they wanna give me $12/hr for 6 months with no benefits (they said I'd be getting public trust but yeah... if they put in writing that they'd put me in for a security clearance I'd suck it up and take it).

CCIE, nice.  I just got my CCNA but that's just all book learning and simulator with no enterprise environment experience.

I'm in the DC area so hopefully I can land something with one of the big defense contractors.

I guess it correlates quite a bit. You need to be either interested in currencies or cryptography to use a cryptocurrency that's not widely adopted yet (compared to traditional currencies and the farce that is online banks like Paypal).
