Yeah, this thread was heading off the deep end. Back on subject...
What is sad is "my" reading of the posting indicates this position is with IBM at one of their outsourcing sites. IBM, of all people/companies, should know what this position is worth. And while we all speculate on the posting being nothing more than fulfilling a legal obligation (to then send it overseas), the job posting specifically states that the person hired for this position will be required to travel over night outside of the local area to meet with, and support, the clients.
