Yes, this is the kind of contracting job I was talking about, their client
is located about 400m (that's about 0.3 mile for our US friends) from my
house :-).

None in the Netherlands I'm affraid. The UK is still possible, as is Germany,
although they too prefer east-european contract labor. If you subtract cost of
living and taxes in the areas concered from the income, it's not an incentive
to relocate to another country...

As a former ACT Europe employee I am aware of those.

Actually, I've spend 9 years working for international banks so maybe thats
why I consider the typical $40/hour before taxes for contracting too low to
give up a good paying regular job.
