Purdue Perl Mongers,

In case you are interested in working in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

I reformatted the below message to be more friendly to 80 character
wide terminals and contain only ASCII characters.

I also deleted some stuff not meant for general distribution.

Dear Mark,

You are the Group Leader of the Purdue Perl Mongers group and I would
like to share some cool news with you;

You probably heard about Booking.com, Planet earth's #1 Accommodation
website in the world from sponsoring the Open Source/Perl Community.

Booking.com is the #1 online hotel reservations company in the world and we
are part of the Priceline Group
  http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/09/11/priceline-jeffery-boyd/
Due to the rapid growth of our online business we are now recruiting for
25 Perl Developers to join our office in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Here is some info you can share with your network about Booking and why we
use Perl:

Perl is used for almost everything with a MySQL backend and Git for
development. We get our changes out really fast; it's rare for your code
not to be on our live systems within hours of you pushing it. As a data
driven company we have a clear goal: helping our customers.  Everything
we do is aimed at solving problems for our customers, if it doesn't help
our customers we're not interested in doing it.

We offer a competitive salary, bonus and relocation package including
the opportunity to receive the 30% ruling
  http://www.iamsterdam.com/en-GB/Living/official-matters/thirty-percent-ruling
and if you are not from the EU we will apply for a work /residence
permit for you and your family (if needed).  Amsterdam is a vibrant and
thriving city offering a multi-cultural environment. You can read a bit
more how Expats rate Amsterdam in terms of lifestyle:

We also hack cool stuff. Take a look:  http://blog.booking.com

We appreciate your help!

This posting appears on http://jobs.perl.org/ about every three months.

These folks are either hiring 20-25 new developers every three months
(impressive), or they never find anyone (low salary - not impressive),
or they have high turnover (not impressive).

Further, there really should be no reason, in 2013, that this type of
thing cannot be done telecommute.  It continues to surprise me how
many in-office posts I see at that site.  I never open one.

Just my $0.04.
