Most expect there to be a glut of IT workers in the market soon as the big organizations either merge or get shut down by restructuring and acquisition.

For the top execs, the golden parachutes should keep former CIOs in the style to which they’ve become accustomed.

As firms consolidate or are acquired, it stands to reason that staffs will merge and many will be let go.

That means some excellent IT talent could hit the job market soon — at bargain basement prices.
