Dude with Oracle and Cold Fusion you're not going to have much trouble at all. But I gotta tell you the 97-99 office environments are done, no vc for that type of thing anymore. You're looking at a corporate gig unless you want to open up shop on your own. I'm sucking it up right now doing asp/sql for a law firm and it's not bad, the money is good, plenty o' perks (although no foosball and nobody brings their dog...), lot's of money for training and it looks good on a resume when you start selling your services independantly.
Most wap development is being done in cold fusion and as more wireless companies start incorporating e-commerce that Oracle back end is going to be a serious plus, I'd start there. And throw your resume up on monster and workopolis, make sure it's seen around the world, I've received calls from employers in the UK, Ireland and Oz, if the timing had been better I would've been all over those positions.
As far as recruiters, they're all kinda sketchy but I've had good results with Genevieve at Martins Lynch (
www.martinslynch.com) and Brendan at Ajilon (
www.ajilon.ca)
Good luck B and remember the corporate world ain't so bad as long as you're getting what you want out of it.
