This interested me. Not because I want the position, but because I couldn't believe someone was trying to hire an MVS Systems Programmer at such a low salary. Also, I hadn't heard of Fast Switch, Ltd. before so I went to their WEB site. When I tried this morning their site went down while I was on it - go figure. Fast Switch is a consulting/technical recruiting firm, and the position is listed under their name on careerbuilder.com. It is actually in Detroit, not Philadelphia. The industry it is in is "Automotive - Motor Parts - Consulting". Does that mean you would be hired as a consultant and therefore get no benefits besides the low salary? If anyone is interested here is the link to the job posting.
