The only thing in parentheses in your post is this: "(thanks Accenture, Infosys et al)", which clearly is not an answer to your question: "Is this just one of those slack periods or is it a much tougher market place than the last time I had to try and land a gig 3 years ago?"

"Land a gig"? Do you think of yourself as some sort of a rock star?
