People who haven't traveled for work often think it sounds glamorous and can't fathom why anyone would complain about doing it. They don't understand what an absolute pain in the ass air travel is and how seeing hotel rooms in many countries is not the same as being on a vacation. I stopped consulting shortly after 9/11 because after that, travel became unbearable. I don't know any headhunters in the tri-state area, but if you're interested in freelancing, I have been using a new site that is only for freelance developers, and the hiring companies are vetted so you don't get the people that are looking to build a world class website for $1.50. They also have a guide for getting started in freelancing, in case you're interested. Check it out here. https://subspace.net/guide-to-freelancing[^]
