It's funny you should mention this, as I'm looking to move to that exact area
(Southern NH/Boston). I've been on the Web, and I've seen a lot of jobs, mostly
in insurance and financial companies, for in-house software.
I've also seen a lot of headhunters. Does anyone know which headhunters in that
area are reputable? Do any deal only with Tech Writers?
And, on an un-job-related note: Does anyone live in that area? What's the cost
of living like?
Thanks very much!
