::shrug:: There are plenty of people that have the impostor syndrome and will take the gig.

To put that in perspective, that's the same as making sandwiches at Subway in Australia.

Wow. I'm 21 years old, no degree, with only some web design background and A+ certification in Silicon Valley. I got a job making ~$20/hr($42K/year salary) with 3 weeks PTO and tons of other benefits. Someone with 5 years of experience, hell even half that much experience can make atleast $30/hr where I live.

Define "some web design background" and "A+ certification in Silicon Valley"? What could you build prior to getting the job?

Jack of all trades. PHP/HTML/CSS. I knew my way around it. I've done plenty of .NET back in my teens too. Just saying, entry level jobs pay more.

Positions available in: New York City, San Francisco, London, Los Angeles, Boston, Sydney, and Hong Kong.

22/hour in Sydney? Half of the salary will go to rent and bills.

OafTobark• 13 years ago

All of it will go towards rent in SF and NY (if Manhattan) unless they share rooms and split costs a lot

To put this in perspective, as a starving entrepreneur with 15 years of experience, $22/hour sounds like a godsend at the moment.

I'm not complaining or ignoring that this is below market rate. But it's good to stay humble.

You have 4 -5 years of web development experience.

This is not the same as 5 years of rails experience.

They are not looking for developers, they're looking for people to teach a crash course in web development.

It's even less than $22/hr because the 40 hours per week here doesn't include work outside of the classroom such as grading papers and projects, or "Assist students outside of class as necessary.".

This seems like a really, really fun class to teach. I would definitely do it, just for fun.

But I wouldn't do it for money, because the pay sucks. Those with the skills to teach it right are out doing it in the private sector and making more, and still having fun.

How is this 22/hour? It says 105,000 per year which @ 40/week is roughly $50 an hour.. Also, I have 2.5 years web dev experience, and sadly only earning $15 an hour currently, not too many Rails/Laravel jobs here in Dayton, OH.

I think it was a typo initially -- the ad originally read $10,500.

talos2• 13 years ago

Update from poster: they changed it from $10,500 to $105,000.
