(Scale of 1 to 10.)<br /><br />Yeah the NYC area is tough. I too am way beyond entry-level, and I have management experience. But the DC area is getting tougher too. The economy, high housing prices, and a glut of guys with Dells and stolen software makes the competition for freelance work and jobs tough.

I believe it's especially hard for designers because the term is so murky for most folks unfamiliar with the field. <br /><br />2 years is quite a long time. Did you find good employment?

Up until this past August, I had spent the last 2 years, 2 months and a few days in the same murky pool you now unfortunately find yourself in (as a designer as well, I was able to freelance to supplement my unemployment benefits, but even that required adjustments to our lives).
