That's definitely true, but is also industry dependent. My wife is a chemist and just accepted a new job, she negotiated for 4 9 hour days in order to cut down on commute time and have a day to spend with the baby as well.
She is a genius and an excellent negotiator (but you probably already knew that)!
Good work.
Well, she did marry me, so.....
A lot of it has to do with working in smaller, "high tech" like fields. My job is pretty flexible too, which is really nice.
I find Linked-in to be aimed at people who are trying to "grow" a business. I hate that term in this context. Yet I do have an account. I was told to add a picture. I added a picture.

Monster is long dead, ditto the newspaper. I like the ideas about networking, however. I got in touch with a college buddy who is an engineer in the area. He had some good ideas that I continue to investigate. He also recommended checking job listings weekly.
Sure could use a job
