Most of you here just replied "with flames" if you wanna call it that, and it took me three weeks just to calm everyone done so I will be able to open my mailbox in the morning without finding there 20 messages of flame from people here. No one told me I will find good programmers in Lithuania for cheap. In fact, I dont see why is it wrong to do that, aint that what the internet for? > It's great that you're such a positive and sympathetic person ;) I am, really :) > Look: In Lithuania you can live like a king with a $14/hour salary, and > there aren't many Hi-tech companies, so a programmer from there is likely > to take you up on your offer. Nadav, You missed my entire point -- I'm not nagging about people asking for more, all I want is that if someone doesnt wanna take my offer -- leave it, but people here had to reply and flame about it because of their childish ideology that they are open source elite developers and how dare I, a simple webdeveloper even dare thinking someone would take a job for "free" like that? > In Israel, on the other hand, $14/hour is an ok-good salary - equivalent to > about 11,000 shekels a month - BUT ONLY IF YOU OFFER SOMEONE A FULL-TIME > EMPLOYMENT.

Whoever's into Free Lancing (and I was so I must know) should take a "calculated risk" if you will, that he's gonna end up in a situation he might need to take a smaller job, over not having one at all. But some people rather sit and wait a year for someone to offer 50$ an hour instead of taking the 15$/hour to have "something for now". > So your job offer involved a not-high salary (relative to salaries usually > paid in Israel to highly-educated or trained people), *during the bubble time* > no job security or > employment horizon, no pension plan, not even an office.
