Never said I'm US born. Otherwise, with this grammar, I would be a little retarded. Was brought here long time ago, after I made some interesting applications in cryptography. From Bulgaria(google it). With an airplane. That's how I first found for my problem with long haul flights. And the last time I was forced to have one, it took near a year to put me together. I'm not going trough this crap again.

Alright alright, I'm from Bulgaria myself. Good luck with your search.

Wow, the US job market must be quite good (assuming you are in the US) that you would leave your position just because you hate flights...  Here, nobody would leave a place even if they would beat us with barbed wire and use Lotus notes as email client.

At the risk of howls of derision from other freelancers, do try places like PeoplePerHour and other online work auction sites. (Caution - only use ones where you can actually discuss requirements with the buyer before making a firm bid!)
Yes, it's a rubbish market and yes, some buyers expect stupid rates. (I once saw a request for someone to build a site "a bit like google and ebay" and with a budget of $200).
However, since 2008 100% of my clients have come either directly or indirectly through that route. For a couple of years I was earning roughly 3x what I ever thought could be my maximum income through contracting, as a result of bidding for a $200 one-day javascript gig that led to more work with the same client, and his associates, and their associates... I'm now semi-retired and have been for 18 months, ticking over with past clients and still getting direct requests from new clients through PPH.
If nothing else, it's a great opportunity to practice your self-marketing skills, and if you win some bids, you at least get a bit of income. More importantly you refresh your skills, widen your experience, and learn from other people's mistakes. And the best bit? Absolutely no flying involved! 
Don't join a site that requires you to "buy" bids with real cash, and you've nothing to lose.

fair enough, but these sites don't just provide coders; plenty of other technical and non-tech requirements there. I do non-development work through them as well as coding jobs.

If you're willing to relocate, you could get a job in three months. Lots of jobs in Boston. Cost of living is high though.

Thanks! Three months is not that scary.

I-95 is 1,919 miles long, running from the Maine/Canada border to Miami, FL. The length of time to find a job will vary with the location. "Tri-State" area could be Maine/NH/Massachusetts, Massachusetts/Rhode Island/Connecticut, etc. Your question is too wide open for anyone here to provide a valid answer.
What I can guarantee is that if you can't be more precise in your resume and job interviews you won't find a position that you like.

I didn't want to provide more detailed resume as I do realize, Longie is not a job board. And I think I give enough - very versatile experience with the most of the commonly used languages. And to answer your question, I would reallocate along the I-95 and to some extend to I-78. Thanks for trying to help!

I got to the end of the page and no one actually answered you question.
In my experience the problem is the Recruiting companies, hiring managers and the interview. Those folks almost never advertise for what they want. Mostly because they do not know themselves. So they ask for Super-Developer/Programmer. Once you get your Resume' out there the Recruiters take a shotgun approach and your are inundated with a ton of "opportunities" with requirements that don't match your skillset (or anyone alive today, except maybe God).
As for length of time it is totally random. A lot depends on your requirements. Are you willing to re-locate for a 6 month contract? Are you adamant about staying at home? Are you looking for contract to hire and so on.
I have worked 3 contract jobs in my 36 year career. All with reasonably satisfactory results for both parties. I would suggest Dice.com and VirtualVocations.com as places to start and get your resume' out there.

Thank you Sir! Both for the advice and for the straw. I was thinking exactly for a contracting jobs. It fits my way of doing things. I'm very effective and dedicated programmer, bur I also need some extend periods for recovery.

Yes, I get it. I am a VB6, VB.Net, and C# programmer who is skilled in SQL Server.
I only do Desktop and Winforms applications.
I wish you luck in your future endeavors.

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[^]

At least look around for a better one. Something you should DO WHILE still employed.

When I get I arrays I just use a mutex.
