There have been tough years here, too, but last 18 months or so were busy (no extraordinary good vages, but at least acceptable, and, based on quite some overtime, a good income).
Where the current banking /automotive drama will end, I can't really estimate, but it will definitely hurt to some extend. - Still there is work for the next quarter, too (and I can rarely ever say anything for a timeframe beyond this - but I was planing for automötive work for 2009 last year, and I guess it just won't happen - so this will mean loosing a few hundred hours of payed work - and the question is, if this means just no overtime, or a rearly bad business - I can't answer at this point).
Besides this, I do invest in Traveller and XPages these days, Webservices seam to become more important, and I hope for Symphony related projects. Linux and Java is on my list, too. - So I am not at all focusing on Microsoft right now. DDE (Desginer on Eclipse) and a bunch of other things going on make me hope that Notes will remain big for many years - yes, there is problem areas but there is quite some room for another round of bigger growth, too.
Lets hope for the best.
