Interesting. Well, I just talked to my husband about this. The body language of each of the people we interviewed with indicated that they thought we were both nuts for saying the economy was in a downturn. Mine was for a contract, and, of course, I have no idea what the other people were bidding for a per hour rate.

We both decided that we didn't want to work with people that were so out of touch with reality. I sincerely disagree with the other respondents that said the interviewer was playing a game, I believe that the interviewers were sincerely shocked that work hasn't been flowing like it used to. In addition we have a major Fortune 100 company in Minneapolis that is laying off their entire IT Department and hiring Accenture to come in to do the IT work---so there will be more out of work techies in our area and as I stated in my original post, way less to choose from.

I mean, I don't interview all the time, so am no good
at it.

Why can't we just tell each other how it is, negotiate
a middle ground for compensation, and get about making
docs?

... I don't get why not?
