Yep, I was there at the beginning of the year. I was getting one interview after another and numerous offers. The problem was everyone was trying to lowball me. This went on for 6 months before I finally secured the position I was looking for.
It blew my mind. I was making pretty decent money by OT standards before getting laid off. I had 10+ years experience and a really good resume. The offers I was getting were dang near entry level pay. I told more than one company that they requirements didn't match the pay grade and maybe they should consider someone right out of college.
No doubt it was frustrating. The job market is terrible right now and companies are trying to take advantage of that. They want experience and are refusing to pay for it in a lot of cases.
