NYCPHP Meetup

[ophir prusak]

Hi Alan,

I hate to be discouraging, but to be frank, the "web development" job
openings scene in NYC is currently very poor.

There are still some positions which are still in demand like if you're
a senior Java person with strong financial background, but if you're
just a "web/internet" developer, you're up against a big crowd.

In any case, good luck.
