[Dcphp-dev] New PHP position in D.C. - This one if pretty flexible so if it's in your salary range please call me to discuss.

[Conrad Decker]

Ah...no kidding? I wasn't aware that people were having that much 
trouble staffing up. Guess that's good for all of us developers.

I'm a big fan of supply and demand, there's obviously a reason that 
those jobs are taking so long to fill...someone must be paying something 
better, or at least offering better benefits. I just can't imagine 
paying someone with such little experience much more then that. You know 
you're going to be spending the first part of their employment getting 
them ramped up, and/or following behind them and fixing their mistakes 
(obviously this isn't the case with everyone, but when I think junior 
level, I really think junior level.)

Anyway, I always appreciate others view points...so thanks!
