I don't think this is a " Jr cabling/desktop monkey" job. The job post says
"...This position is 90% remote...".
I think this is a start up and the owner has everyone work out of their home to
keep the cost down and they meet at his house.
About 12 years ago I worked for a consulting company. I was W2 and worked from
home. He provided my computer, pay, limited benefits, and he worked out of his
home. By doing business this way he was able to keep the cost of doing
business to a minimum. I believe he started on a shoe string and just stayed
there.
I believe this is an opportunity for someone to learn, grow, and get some
resume material.

I am not sure I would go directly to exploitation. Though I would say they are
trying to take advantage slightly. All the requirements are 1-3 years. I
would assume there is already in place a full admin, so this person would
likely be a Jr cabling/desktop monkey. Here in Denver that job would go for
40-45k a year and our tech job market is much stronger than yours. I lost my
job the last day of September last year and started my job search Oct 1...
started a new job Nov 15th, and I was not the first to find one... but that is
Denver. Phoenix is a much tougher nut. So while the rates are low, and
probably not very realistic, I think exploitation is a bit strong. I bet they
find some nice kid 20-22 years old in the $15-$18 range.
