responses today that were not sent to the group stating the same thing. I
would say this though – if someone is interested in looking at an opportunity
then give me a chance to speak with you and I can then approach the hiring
manager about the salary and let him know what you are looking for to make a
move. I know them pretty well and they are not the type to let salary deny
them the resource they are looking for.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Well, I guess I'll just speak up. My reason for asking about the salary
was slightly two-fold. I've heard of two people who "know their
stuff" in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Columbus</st1:place></st1:City>
being hired, starting in the 90's, this past month, for Perl programming. Yours
is the second job posting in a week that I've been emailed about that wants
someone who knows their stuff, would only do Perl, is advertising in the
80's and is having problems finding someone. These were guys who had a few
years experience, not 7,10 or 15 like some of may around here. But they are
good.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

start a salary-flame-war (is there such a thing? probably if I google it) but
rather (bluntly) point out your range may be too low. And like
HOGUEJ, I would rather see people sending job postings to the Columbus-pm when
they're local here (rather than make you wade through the perljobs listserv
which seems to rarely have <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ohio</st1:place></st1:State>
jobs in it).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
