> a seller's market

Is it as much as we think? It seems that big companies in Silicon Valley had no qualms about talking among one another about not "poaching" developers (what a lame term poaching is).

I'm not terribly keen on the idea of unions either (or immigration restrictions for that matter), but we should damn well be sure that companies are not colluding.

If it was a seller's market we also wouldn't have threads about month long interviewing processes.

I’ve been asked by more than one recruiter to take a pre-test online before the company even interviewed me.

Same, and I very politely told them to kick rocks.

Well... That sounds like you want to restrict speech on people! That doesn't sound like it's going to fly.

(I wish the fact that corporations are people was a satire...)
