Chris,

I'd like to say that you're right on with your main points here. In the last 3 years I have more than doubled my bill rate, and yes that's while the whole dot-com crash occurred.

Thanks, man.

I love seeing posts like this, because I believe that it helps reinforce to others how much control they have over their own careers if they'll just approach it in a manner that includes some other perspectives. I hope your success helps to inspire others to reach for the brass ring regardless of what conventional wisdom tells them!
