>there is a huge demand and most programmers I know receive several offers a month

You mean recruiter spam? That's not a job offer. At best it's a liberally-dispensed invitation to submit yourself to some company's drawn-out, degrading, and ultimately capricious interview process.

The "huge demand" is for 20-somethings who graduated from top schools who are "passionate" and can be over-worked and under-paid.
