Unlikely. I'm shopping around for a new gig myself, and have noticed the 
same thing. I think it's just another indicator of how far the IT job 
market has slipped. It's a buyers market. Salaries are down drastically for 
all but the most senior positions, most of which now require the applicant 
to have 29+ years experience, your own helicopter, own health insurance, 
willing to relocate anywhere on 4 minutes notice, live 2 minutes from the 
office, phd from MIT, Johns Hopkins, or GaTech (no exceptions), and must 
possess all of the following certifications: 

CCIE
CCEA
MCSE
MCNE
RHCE
CISSP
CISA
QRSTUV
ISCCA
NASCAR
WXYZ

...and a partridge in a pear tree.

So if anyone out there is looking for a pretty good techie who has a well 
rounded background and generally knows how to do stuff, feel free to drop 
me a line. Not concerned with salary as much as fun and flexible working 
hours.
