        With that kind of compensation, I would not even ask which stack you want to use. You want the MS Stack? Sure, want some .NET stacksauce on that? :)

              is it Lamps Plus[^]? The map appears to be over exactly where they are. The requirement, however, is so ambiguous - at least it should say what people will really be working with/doing and who the business is so a prospective employee can do some research - just looks very suspicious with so little detail.

                        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.

                          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:

                                  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.

                                    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:

                                      I guess at least you should have a good idea of the quality of specs you can be expected to implement. Obviously the primary requirement is ESP.
