In the last few days i've had two calls from the UK, regarding a programming job in a hedge fund and one in a bank. Also had two calls from agents in Sydney about jobs here. It has been quiet for a few months but seems to be picking up, unless it's a blip.

So theres always plan B, which is working in Sydney and crashing with my sister in Harbord. The IT market here in NZ is pretty good, and since we (Oz and NZ) are both doin OK with continuing good prospects, any heads up on the job market in Oz would be appreciated.
Cheers,
