Re: [Fwd: Re: [PHP] PHP Developer Required]
I personally think it sounds like a pretty fun job with a lot of potential. Even if you don't get hired on as staff after the contract is up, you're still potentially walking away with: 1 - Some excellent business contacts 2 - First hand experience in developing their new applications 3 - More marketability All of which can help you in getting the job you might really want. And, while this job may not be ideal for many programmers out there with that much experience under their belt, you know there is always "that person" who has lost their job and is trying hard to find something/anything to support their family. So, thank you Greg for posting this opportunity for people to look at.

Re: [Fwd: Re: [PHP] PHP Developer Required]
Some people just have to whine. It's too bad people on this list have to put up with this behaviour. We do have a position available for someone who wants to work, and climb the ladder into what could be a lifelong career working with a leading edge group of developers. It is a foot in the door position, with potential to turn into a staff position, as most of these positions do, and a secure, well paying career with many benefits. You can find out more about some of the work undertaken at the centre by visiting the Web site. http://atrc.utoronto.ca/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=26&Itemid=109 greg mlists wrote: >A university, which hypes the need for an education, charges a fortune >for it (causing people to go into massive debt to get it), and then >turns around an offers less than a living wage is hypocritical. > >"Becoming university staff takes a couple years, after which salaries >are competivitive with the going rates."

Re: [Fwd: Re: [PHP] PHP Developer Required]
A university, which hypes the need for an education, charges a fortune for it (causing people to go into massive debt to get it), and then turns around an offers less than a living wage is hypocritical. "Becoming university staff takes a couple years, after which salaries are competivitive with the going rates." So for the first couple of years you get taken advantage of and then, maybe, you will get paid more! That is just not fair.

Although it's still $25/hr after 5 years of experience on a contract basis with no guarantee of future contracts with good performance. As a contractor one generally charges more to cover the dry times, self-development, dental, prescriptions, retirement, etc, etc. It's not about being greedy, well not for me anyways, it's about covering one's ass in the present and in the future. Have you ever seen the way it usually works in government and any other large businesses... contractors earn more per hour than the regular employees, that's because they need to. Contractors often can't just jump onto any job with stars in their eyes hoping to get a hold of a "maybe" brass ring several years down the road. Cheers, Rob. -- ...

Rob/mlists You're certainly not encouraging PHP programmers to get involved with paid open source projects. That's a guaranteed $50,000 a yr, a little low perhaps by industry standards, but it is a reasonable starting rate, and gets your foot in the door. You should have a look at who the employer is, and what they do. They (we) are looking for a person who has done their research. This is more than just a job. It has the potential to introduce applicants to a world of experience, not just code crunching, but getting involved with the groups who introduce new technologies and working on leading edge projects (groups like the W3C, IMS, ISO, AICC, and many others) . Experiences you won't get as a programmer for your average software developer. The ATRC is involved with most standards bodies around the world, and has dozen of open source projects on the go. Becoming university staff takes a couple years, after which salaries are competivitive with the going rates. Not to mention a full set of benefits, pension, excellent working environment, including flexible working hours, travel benefits, free university course (get a masters or phd for nothing) etc. Most staff start on a casual/contract basis before being moved into the main stream.

You can really get that much? Please be joking. Cheers, Rob. Rob: I was joking, but I've worked for far less. Keep in mind that $25 per hour is a bit above $50k per year (just double the hourly rate and multiply by 1K). In the last 20 years, my yearly income has varied considerably from under $10k to over $300k. So, in the lean years, I would have jumped at a $50k job and considered myself lucky.

And then again it depends on whether you had to move away from your parents to attend university. If you live within commute range of your university then you can get away with 20 to 30k expenses in Canada (depending on University).

My auto mechanic charges an average of $99 per hour. Sounds like a great deal for the university. Maybe the successful candidate can work off his student loans.
