@mario - imho - for a junior position getting their foot in the door,
whilst also working remotely - I think it is pretty fair.

> I guess junior dev rates have plummeted in the last 10 years.
@marcin - You should see how much typical internships pay, it's shockingly
bad.
Also - the market is flooded with so called "professionals" that are
driving up the prices and make finding decent developers extremely
difficult.

For example, here was a typical response to our question sheet from someone
we interviewed.

QUESTION 5: Provide an example of how you would prevent SQL injection from
happening.
ANSWER: "I wouldn't - I would use NMap and other scanners."

>BTW, is there any onsite work?
@wang - If you are available in the Coventry (UK), Bedfordshire (UK) or
Pittsburgh (PA, US) areas, then we might be able to offer you an on-site
position (if this is what you wanted).
