Carl, there are several good people out there that you are bypassing because you are wanting someone in NYC. Did you consider the following? 1) A remote location person can be as connected with your team (perhaps more so) then someone on site via IM, email, video conferencing, etc. 2) By not asking them to take transportation every day to work, you are helping the planet (Ok, perhaps you aren't interested in being green, but perhaps you are). 3) This one is usually the one that grabs peoples attention. Hiring a telecommuting person not only means that you have more people to select from, but it may be CHEAPER... Consider the cost of living in NYC. It's pretty high. Now compare that to the cost of living in (let's say) Montana. I would presume that it's much less. It would probably cost less to hire a programmer there. Not only that, but you don't need to provide space in the office, a computer, worry about lunch breaks, health insurance, etc. Seriously. Unless you have something you are working on for the government that requires top secret clearance, then you should seriously consider telecommuting. Heck, I wouldn't mind the job, but I also need to be at home at this stage of my life, so you are missing out on (what I consider) a pretty kick ass CF developer. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Jobs-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:3986 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Jobs-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.11
