Well, let me wade through the effluence surrounding this job post: 1) It clearly raised some red flags for those who are familiar with the consulting field and how some places try to get around rules
2) Others wish to give the job poster the benefit of the doubt about long term intentions and take the position of let the Consultant/almost-an-employee beware. You takes the job, you takes your chances, it is the capitalist way I guess there are a couple of ways of discerning the truth in this instance: a) Wait for the person who posted the job to post some clarity, like why a 6 month consulting job that sounds to be really suited to a permanent position. Perhaps they aren't sure yet if they are keeping Remedy past 6 months? And of course a posted rate is always an incentive for serious inquiries b) Wait for the person who takes the job, as someone always does in the end, to report back to the list if it is as described, or not This brings on the more general topic that arises from time to time of a way to determine which contracting companies and contractors are worth dealing with. On that note, I will ask that we do not generate a 7 day thread leading into BMC UserWorld 2006 on this, rather, let's all gather over a beverage or two and talk about an answer, and perhaps report back to those of us who couldn't attend. cheers ...
