Actually, I have one of the Big 5 as a client and a handful of other
similar firms, and I can say that they do seem to be putting a freeze
on hiring.  If I were working for a Wall St. firm, I would be
considering changing my spending habits, though I'd still be making
more than I really need.  Yes, even living in Manhattan.  I'm very
glad that I turned down the Wall St. offers 13 months ago, even with
the Nasdaq tanking I'm still way ahead.
To keep some continuity in this thread, I haven't seen the great price
drop that all the 'cheap immigrant labor' is supposed to lead to.  I
have seen a number of highly qualified immigrants (H1-B or greencard)
pulling down strong 6 figure salaries plus bonuses.  As they should.
