especially for those in the application areas. For those true technology lovers and gurus, startups with fresh ideas and innovative environment or power house like Intel, Google, IBM etc, are best suited. Because those places have either the freedom for them to try all different things (startup or small shops), or have the work force and condition to dig deeper in research/discovery.
But for the majority of IT professionals, they are more interested in areas where their skill sets can be fully utilized - people with different background, different knowledge base, different personal skills etc.
Nowadays, there is NOT a single area doesn't require IT professional services, and some of them are very rewarding.
Cloud computing will only open up more opportunities for everyone, because it's not just a concept, but rather a proven service can benefit everyone.
