SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Thousands of people in Silicon Valley are unemployed and looking for work. But for tech workers with the right skills, work is looking for them.
They have what it takes for the booming fields of social media, mobile software and cloud computing and juggle multiple job offers -- some in the six figures -- as they benefit from a tech job market that hasn't been this overheated since the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s. Internet giants like Google are competing with startups for increasingly rare talent: senior software engineers, data analysts, Web designers and application developers.
