The CF-Jobs list is probably the most focused location to post the gig
for people who participate actively in the CF community. Many
ColdFusion User groups will also posts jobs to their membership.
Michael would probably know if that exists in NYC.

Agreed on just about everything but the health insurance. Full-time
telecommuters still often require full benefits with regard to health
insurance, 401k, etc. True, you still save money on the overhead. I
happen to be on my husband's insurance, but many are still the sole
providers.

Oh.. I agree as well that we would appricate health insurance.
But if it's the difference between me getting a job with no health
insurance and not getting a job that has it because I need to

I've been in business for myself for 14+ years. Have always paid for my own
health insurance, it can be had for pretty cheap, got full coverage with a
$5k annual deductible for $280 per month for a family of 6. Adjust your
hourly rates accordingly if that seems high.
I for one don't want
That's your prerogative. I just don't want people misled that hiring

I am a full-time permanent employee of a Fortune 500 company and am a
full-time telecommuter. I live in Arlington, Texas and my boss and *most*
of my team members are in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. It works out really
well. I have full benefits as I am a regular employee.

In the past 20+ years in IT with ColdFusion and other technologies I have
worked about 35% of the time remotely. I have also managed an uncountable
number of developers and functional team member remotely. Remote employees
that possess a strong work ethic tend to perform at a more productive rate
My last FT job was 50% on site / 50% telecommute, and I can certainly vouch
for being able to get more coding done at home than in the office. Not only

The wording on those messages is a little misleading I think... The
messages don't actually bounce, it's just a reminder to trim, but the

I said my preference (not requirement) was to have someone in the office with
me as this position is to be my tech lead. I do have people working remotely
and they do fine.
I find that day to day collaboration is much easy if I can turn around, ask a
question in detail and get a quick answer.

I don't think the point here is that a project lead or client shouldn't be

@Dave,
A good manager who manages to their employees and who THEY are (the
employee) can manage anyone remotely. If they need to be micro, it's
because the employee's abilities/skills demand it.
It is unfortunate that in my career, I have only found 1 or 2 managers who
come even 'close' to that
