Hi Joshua I can't speak for recruiters and HR departments, but I would expect that most companies would maybe have an mid-level salary, with the increase back to senior rates after a certain window of time. On some level, code is code, and so all you'd need to prove is that you're familiar with Ruby and Rails.
Of course, if you've been using Ruby in your own time, and feel you're good at it, then I wouldn't expect much of a rate drop, if any at all. If anyone insists on junior level rates, then I'd say they're not worth working for ;) IANA employer, though. -- Pat On 14/10/2009, at 2:46 PM, Joshua Partogi wrote: > > Hi all, > > I haven't been in the situation like this before.
