Are you enjoying the benefits of this high demand for IT professionals?

I indeed received job offers from within California. I can hardly answer for the rest of US, but I guess the movement follows. Also, I can inform on the situation in Europe, where I currently reside.
After many years of celestial vacuum, job offers tend to comme back massively nowadays. There is no week without a job offer in my inbox, although I never posted my resume on any web site. The only source of attention is my personal homepage.
As you can see, my list of skills is clearly Java related. However, the technologies I master leave out the recent third-party technologies like Spring and Hibernate. As a matter of fact, the job offers I receive are focused on these. It seems to me that the recycling rythm is very quick these days.
I would say this rythm is the cause of how hard it comes to find a so-called "talent." I would more likely say that "up-to-date talents" are hard to find these days. The fault to the technology's incapacity to remain a stable choice over years?

- Hmm.
- In London, an ok J2EE (WebSphere etc) specialist (i.e., me) gets $1000+/day.
- When I last billed in the U.S. (summer 2001), I was getting 80% of that. Since then, I haven't seen any offers in the U.S. of even half that.
- But hey, if things are really picking up I'd love to go home!?!
