That was also my point though, if you don't need to change jobs and if 
you don't get offered the salary increase you want, then just stay put.

I was thinking of switching jobs but then Lehman Brothers collapsed... 
looks like I waited too long, so now I'm sitting back, will take a good 
opportunity if it comes along, but otherwise I'm in no rush, I can 
simply wait until the market recovers.

I suspect a lot of other people with jobs will do the same and wait it out.
