Fwd: Python opening in NY

[Hans Nowak]

I got the following email from Darsh Mehta. I am unable to move to New York
myself, but maybe someone else here will be interested. In that case, please
contact this person. He says he can pay up to $35/hr.

I was wondering if you are available and if you would be interested in a
python/c++ consulting position in NY. Its a 8+month project with good
chances of a possible extension. Please call me at my number below or
reply back if you are interested. If you know of someone who might be
interested then feel free to forward this email or let them call me.

Thank you.

Regards,
Darsh.

Just as a matter of interest, is $35 currently considered an acceptable
hourly rate for programming in the Big Apple? I wouldn't have thought so ...

While "programming" is, of course, far more heterogenous
than we're pretending for the current purposes, $35 / hour
in NYC sounds WAY low to me.

an alternative view says they are:
1) looking for a intern/student
2) justifying importing H1B or L1 talent (look, we advertised the job
and got no takers)
