The company I currently work for has 3 developer position openings and
in 4 months we've had only two candidates apply. That seems to me a
real need for developers. Either that or the job description is too
complicated for them to get past.
City of Chandler PD is looking for 2 LAMP developers and apparently are
not getting a very good response either. This is a great job from what
I can tell. $70,000 or so with lots of holidays, vacation, sick leave,
and the best part is state retirement.
There must be a LAMP shortage hu?

Hi,
I posted for an entry level LAMP developer a week or so ago figuring I
would find a number of people wanting to break into LAMP development.
What I received was a lackluster response. I was offering $22/hr 1099
with the potential to bill 40 hours a week. I figured by the time
that person pays for health insurance figured at $250/mo, pays he self
employment tax, and takes some vacation time and holiday time off,
this compensation would be about $18 an hour W2 or $36,000 a year.
Here is the contract description:
I am looking for an entry level LAMP developer. Would like someone
with entry level PHP skills and entry level Linux skills. Stuff like
the ability to add a user, add a sudo user, and configure vhosts on
apache. I will give directions with examples and they will be working
on a development VPS so if they blow it we just spin up another. As
for PHP skills if this person knows how to write a MySql connection
string and is able to insert, update, delete and list.... this person
could be what I am looking for. This is a maintenance job. This
person would need to know some HTML and CSS. jQuery would be a plus.
This contract could last as long as 2 or 3 years. At that point we
would need to either up the compensation or understand when this
person takes off for other opportunities.
Is the compensation fair? Any ideas why I received such a lukewarm
response?
Your feedback is much appreciated.
Keith
