Typical roles I am talking about are senior developers, deevelopment and QA managers, Chieft Technical Officers, etc.
Do the currently booming growth sectors like energy (oil, gaes, etc), and mining / raw materials have a major need for senior/exec IT professioansl?
The banking sector employees some of the largest number of IT professionals, although a large proportion of these are unlikely to be based in the country where their software/security etc is actually used.
For example, the worlds biggest bank (HSBC, according to Forbes Top 1000 Global Banks) employs more software developers than Microsoft. Alot of the work is done in countries like China and India for the banks operations throughout the entire world, however there are still many hunderds of jobs in local sites, particularly the more high paid ones.
