Well, in all fairness, it's about $200k more than most of our guys in Iraq make, and they're in higher risk areas and professions than a programmer would be, so...
If it weren't for the fact that I don't have the clearance, I'd consider it - and not for the money, since I'm already one of those 1099 guys. Rick On 7/18/07, William Rentfrow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
$235K for a year in Iraq is not nearly enough money....a skilled/certified 1099 can make $200K easily with good connections in a year inside the USA. With the right resume you could make more than that - AND have none of the risk. Although in all fairness I can say I've been to meetings where violence was tempting :) -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Bower Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 12:37 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: JOB posting ; An urgent need for Remedy Developer/Engineer for deployment to IRAQ Why? ask US Citizen,maybe other country people, you can cut down danger pay. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Glaser wrote: > > Hi.
