LOL @ 8 yrs of C# experience

[postmortemIA]

Set of good wishes... I wonder what they actually get..somebody who have ran Hello world in C# ? It is not secret that really good C# developers are rare.

Minimum experience needed is 8 years

I've seen some others with 5+ yrs req. NET experience.

(.NET is 5 yrs old, at best)

Was C# around in 1999?

 

[purbeast0]

nowhere in that post does it say "minimum 8 years of experience in C#"

it simply says "8 years of experience" which probably means 8 years real world experience in software development.

Hmm...in their defense, the company is offering $60/hr in return. I have no idea if that's at all comparable to 8 years of C# experience, but it sounds pretty nice for most any position as far as I can tell.

Besides that, those types of ads are generally all overshoots; I'm guessing it's basically designed to immediately scare off anyone who's grossly underqualified, and then go from there.

yeah it was, but just barely

Doesn't seem unreasonable for a job paying 125k a year.

That's probably more than the King of Iowa makes.

$60/hr for a person w/8 years of experience in software development (especially if this is a contract position, ad doesntt say) is not that uncommon for someone w/good skills. I'm hoping to be making close to 100K/yr by the time I'm 30.

 

[Kaido]

Or that one with "5 years of Windows Server 2003 experience minimum"

Riiiiiight 😀

 

[tranceport]

100k/yr isn't that much these days...

Minimum wage is closing in on 100k 🙂

Early adopters FTW! 😀

I'm gonna have to chime in with that guy that's crying "middle class is dying"... But you're right, 100K isn't much these days...

I guess math is not your strong subject. I think it will be awhile before minimum wage is close to 100k.

Maybe the minimum wage in Monaco.

I guess sarcasm/joking is not your strong subject.

Yeah, and you pay rent perhaps $20K more than somebody in midwest.

The op's point was that the experience requirements were ridiculous since Microsoft only released C# in 2002 hence making it impossible for anyone to have 8 years of experience with C#.

As the king of Iowa, I would have to agree.

I'm barely making $30k out of college... I'd love to be making 60k. 100k would be insane for me. You people are nuts.

Yeah, I don't know what he's talking about either. 100k/yr is very good money in the vast majority of the US.

Reading comprehension FTW!

 

[torpid]

I doubt there are more than a handful of people with 8 years of WORK experience in c#. Wasn't it in alpha or early beta then? I don't know how many companies would be stupid enough to use an unstable product like that for any serious project.
