Can You Program The MS Stack?

An annual pay of $120,000 - $150,000 is beneath you? Wages must be pretty high in the Netherlands. Soren Madsen

I think you interpreted it backwards from what he meant. He was implying that he would use whatever stack they told him to if they were going to pay him that much.
The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin

You are probably right, but that means he is prepared to waste their time by blindly applying. It says you must have experience with the stack (whatever it is). I thought he was saying that given the compensation he didn't want to waste his own time trying to figure out what stack they mean.

I always wonder why people are so keen on experience and being a quick learner - if you have the latter, is the former really that important? IMHO, someone who's really a quick learner, and willing and able to apply this to any given job, then any other requirement is just ... sauce. Besides, I've never seen a job requirements list that was or even could be met in full. I fondly remember one particular job offer requiring 10 years of experience in Java in 2000. Go figure... :doh:
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Not only does the recruiter not know what he is talking about, concepts do not change simply because there's another company name behind it. A database is a database, a server a server.

The field is called "information and communication technology"; they only know what they want, knowing what they mean is my job.

I see nothing about software in there, so I assume they'd consider any experienced secretary. Specifically, the reference to the MS stack doesn't even refer to programming! The "experienced programmer" bit doesn't refer to the MS stack, so, does programming coffee machines and copy machines and a microwace count? ;P And why not? Everyone likes to delegate their power point presentations to their secretary! :cool:

when are you eligible for parole?
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

If they are that rude on a job posting I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

Honestly, the only way I'd take a job in LA is if I could work from my home here in KY.

I see the requirements in the posting. But... Is Craigs List REALLY where you want to find your next Sr. Developer? Who wrote this? The disgruntled ex-Developer during his exit interview? It's like... We have $100K to pay you, but ZERO marketing money to FIND you. We will hire you, and put you in a hole soooo deep, your family will never find you again. (Like they will figure out you replied to a Craigs List job offer!)

I don't see any requirements in there. These are requirements: 1) What language(s) does the applicant need to know? 2) What platforms will he/she be working on (PC/Web/Mobile) targeting what?(Desktop, Java, UNIX) 3) What databases does he/she need to know, if any (SQL, NoSQL, etc) 4) What architecture does he/she need to know (Stand Alone / multi-tier / web services, etc) 5) What industry are you in? What type of products do you manufacture? As far as Craigslist... Most of the time the postings are decent and full of content like above.. I've found my last 4-5 gigs on Craigslist. It's a cheap, easy to use medium that is widely viewed and doesn't require dealing with some moronic recruiter.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Wow, I would never have imagined. I have had such mixed experiences. One guy sold me something broken, another tried bait and switch after I drove almost 2hrs! Maybe it is a Florida thing. Where are you at? But I do appreciate that it may actually work... Interesting. I stand corrected at scoffing at the Craigs Listing...

I've seen a real spike in job posting there over the last 5 years. In each Craigslist "city" page there are two links to look at: Under Jobs Software / QA / DB Here's where 95% of the programming work is found Under Gigs Computer This contains all manner of content that people consider computer related, but from time to time I find small contract work here.
The thing with Craigslist is that it's open to anyone to post anything, so ya, you gotta spend some time looking over each post and clicking around, but the jobs are there.If it's not broken, fix it until it is
