I've been seeing this a LOT lately. There is plenty of work out there, but some of the offers I have been seeing are PATHETIC.

Totally clueless. Good luck with that.

Recently talked to a certain Beaverton, Oregon based shoe company. APPARENTLY, they hire a lot of their new hires as "contractors" and dangle the "full time" carrot in front of their face for a year. Swear up and down you are not a second class citizen... except you can't use the gym. Or go to the holiday party or use a lot of their facilities. And your badge is a different color.

Yeah, go sell that to someone else. Good luck finding a competent engineer.
