Reality: within two weeks found my dream job: level-senior level (2 interviews) - time span for whole transaction - 2 days
on fourth week: got a job paying 1.5 times first job, level - senior (5 interviews) time taken - 5 days.
In between lots of real offers of contract jobs which I am not interested in but pay is a lot higher.
too much responsibility and sweat and travel involved in higher paying job so would not take it up and live quietly in London for a year or so. Also the atmosphere is more relaxed in current job than the higher paying one. I would rise to this level within 6 months or so in current job anyway. (i hope

Getting mails from people who have heard of me through contacts to seriously get in touch in them for prospective positions.
Fake calls I have got in total are just I think 5 or 6. and none lately.
summary: huge IT companies who used to bill clients to death = recession.
Recession: gold mine for brilliant new small companies who can do a much better job with fewer but higher quality people, paying them more. win win for both the company and client. These companies are really beginning to thrive during this period, side effect of this being, you have to be an asset to get a job. please understand this. its not like infy wipro csc walkins where you have no visibility/responsibility/intellect/ andhappy benching. thats all. I would count myself as average: I am not dumb and I am not super bright umm ok maybe i am a bit dumb and I do seem to be having a guardian angel
