No offence to anyone, and maybe it's because I'm out of touch... (no comments from the peanut gallery please) ... but doesn't the salary range seems far apart and also to me, the salary amount seems very low especially based on the required skills.

$25,000 to $50,000 US dollars

£1 ~= $1.25

So it's approximately $32K to $62K

And unfortunately, no I don't think it's that far out of line with
what's typically on offer over here ...

Cheers,

Doesn't the job say 25 to 40 ?

So that would be 31.25 to 50 US dollars
This is only because the dollar is very strong right now and the pound is very weak because of Brexit

[Mike Preece]

The salary range isn't low. That is partially why I am now driving vans instead of cutting code.

[Glenn Sallis]

Mike,

Did you not mean to write "is low"? Otherwise what you wrote doesn't seem to make sense.

Looking at the experience they are after I would be surprised if they are able to find someone for less than 36k (GBP) for this role. I have been monitoring UK salaries for the past few years and I haven't noticed much increase. At the same time the cost of living has been rising all the time.

My impression is that it is getting harder and harder for companies to find people with the necessary skills and experience because they have either a. retired, b. are happily employed, c. cross-trained to other technologies or d. freelance.

I hope they find a great person for the role but my impression is that it won't be easy. My recommendation would be to take a young person on the lower end of the salary scale and train them in MultiValue. Our market needs new "blood" after all!

Kind regards
Glenn

[Don Robinson]

Glenn,

Since I'm in the US I won't comment on the salary, but I will comment on the lack of programmers and company training.

Unless a company is in a real bind, they should look for someone with talent and train them. I know of companies that dumped MV because they "just can't find programmers" and then spend $millions on some "mainstream" product trying to make it do what the MV system did. They could have put half that into people and updates and have an excellent system.

I know of a company still running on a Spirit system, probably 30 years old, and complaining about being unable to find parts or service for it.

Go figure.

 

Regards,

Don
