RE: [DUG-Offtopic] Provincial Delphi

Title: Provincial Delphi

Crap, crap, crap and crap!

 

After spending the last year - 18 months looking for a Delphi job I bit the bullet and

have gone to a VB / C# one just on 3 weeks ago now.

 

Damn, I've got a farming background and I've kinda looked for ag-related stuff for ages too.

And a fanboy interest in Science (like, I buy Science magazine, not that I actually do any ;)

And in-laws in Upper Hutt.

And I used to work with an ex-scientist.

 

So I am _very_ interested, but realistically, I don't want to be a fairweather-job-seeker

and ditch the new job after 3 weeks. And I'm guessing that agricultural researchers

can't pay as well as stockbrokers?

 

So, if you aren't snowed under with candidates, let me know a little more - what

kind of development you are doing, working conditions, size of team, and what kind of pay

I'd expect.

 

(I've got just under 6 years Delphi & Database experience. Used most of the

commercial db's (interbase, sql server, informix and a tiny amount of Oracle), but

would say I'm mostly experienced with Postgres. Done Delphi desktop and web (we

basically wrote our own php or asp equivalent language) and loads of email applications,

and dealt with users. Done some admin stuff and plenty of db schema design, application

design. I'm probably weakest in the BA side : I've done more the backend design

than the client-meeting system analysis stuff).

 

And if you are snowed under with candidates, forget I even replied and I'll chalk this

one up as a near miss.

 

Cheers, Kurt.

Subject: [DUG-Offtopic] Provincial Delphi

Hi,

I know there's been discussions from time to time about working in the provinces.

I'm likely to be looking for one or two competent Delphi developers who'd be willing to work in a provincial city.
Even better, I can offer a choice of cities :-) - Hamilton, Dunedin, or Upper Hutt.

I'm probably after someone who has a few years "commercial experience" (in otherwords, not just starting out and keen to learn). We have a team of (in my opinion of course) _extremely good_ developers, so they'd need to fit in with them. C++ and/or Jade skills a plus too I guess, and would need to know SQL.

But anyway, if you know someone who might be interested, please pass this on to them.

Thanks,
  Andrew. (Andrew dot Cooke at AgResearch dot co dot nz dot dot dot)
