Tech
Am I very much mistaken, or are things slowly picking up again in the tech sector? We're hiring like crazy over at MessageLabs (aim is to employ 200 people in 2003), and I am starting to see people I know in more interesting (and secure) jobs again.

Seeing it other places too (Score:2)
I think you're right. I'm also seeing activity picking up in database-related and data warehousing tasks. Budgets seem to be freer.
Yay, here's hoping for a nice project in 2003, rather than "take what you can get".
looks that way (Score:1)
I managed to find a decent job that pays well enough after about 3 months of looking, and I'm not as desperate as others who don't have a job.
I think we've hit bottom and the next 6 months should start to show a recovery - not a boom but something less awful than the current and recent past.
