In recent months there have been several posts of very prominent Flex developer talent being ‘picked up’ by high profile Flex agencies. We are graciously being informed of everything by their blogs… now if only it was proper, err, socially acceptable for folks to share the salaries and incentives they were getting in these sweet deals — then it really would be like sports deals.  Here’s a couple of major recent ’signings’ to name a few… Doug McCune was drafted out of perpetual consulting bliss by Universal Mind (UM) to become a full time team member. Doug claims the kicker of his move was the team — in his words, ‘the best developers, no question about it’. Doug announced his move in a lengthy and impassioned blog post laden with supportive comments. It’s a loss to the independent consulting force, but no doubt a huge win for UM. The word on the street is that Doug ‘did it for the projects’. Combine that with his obvious enthusiasm for teamwork and learning, and who can really blame him.  [...] [...] Tracking Flex developers from job to job is getting to be like tracking star athletes in the off season.

So you must be lovin' life even more to jump back into the full time world. Congratulations to you! I'm about to jump into the freelance world. Hopefully in a year or two I'll be able to do some of the amazing things you've done. Well, maybe in three years. :-) No doubt you were lovin’ life as an independent.

Congrats! Welcome to the FT world. Much to Wilker's dismay, it's a place I'm comfortable with :) I already called you “sellout” in person, so does that mean I can do it via comments now? :P

I have only one big question:
Does UM allow ‘hawks?

Congrats! Welcome to the FT world. Much to Wilker’s dismay, it’s a place I’m comfortable with :)

I have to say, I wouldn't go perm at my current place if they asked me to. The tax in my country goes from 22% as a contractor to 40% as a permy. I really wished I could work from home, there is something to be said about coding in your pajamas... Congrats man, UM is definatly lucky.
