hitko31552yThe offer is from Bangalore, and $20 per hour there is the equivalent of $10k per month in US or Europe.
-
Grumm16562y@NeatNerdPrime Not sure where you work, but if they pay you more than $20/h, are you still looking for an extra dev ? xD
-
It’s not 20$ per hour. It’s just 20$.
Which are already spent by reading and understanding the requirements. -
Grumm16562y@Lensflare How do you know that ?
It just say $20 or higher rates if expert...
Can be hours, days, year, minutes..
Any assumption is correct no ? -
This is from Upwork, right ?
You can find any sort of wild bastard with these kind of proposals there. -
hitko31552y@Lensflare The requirements are clearly directed towards hiring a long-term contractor with potential full-time employment, and the price is a perfectly reasonable hourly rate for that kind of position in the location where the offer comes from. So either someone completely missed the point by specifying job requirements instead of a proper project description, or they simply misused the "fixed price" tag and the whole thing is a perfectly sensible job / contractor offer. Go figure which option is more likely.
As they say, there are two kinds of people, those who can deal with imperfect data -
b2plane62712y@Grumm @hitko it clearly says a fixed-price of $20 which is a total one time payment, or can be paid per X amount of miletones that all sum up in total $20. If it was $20/hour that wouldn't be bad but its not per hour
-
hitko31552y@b2plane Right, because it totally makes sense to have a "fixed price" offer and then mark it as "contract-to-hire" to indicate you're willing to hire the person full time. You either need them for one-time project, or you need them for long-term contract with regular pay, not both. Even if the price was $20000, that part wouldn't make sense as a fixed price offer. Is it so hard to consider that maybe, just maybe, some person somewhere made a fucking mistake? No wonder you're on Upwork looking at ads from India...
-
Just a detail: I really dislike when job ads mix concrete requirements with fuzzy requirements in a huge list. Like..if they really do require Java 8.11, Gradle, JUNIT, Spring and Hibernate put those concrete skills at the top and put the fuzzy shit like "Effective analytic/diagnostic skills" and "ability to meet a business requirement" at the bottom

What the heck is "9+ years of experience in Infrastructure Technologies delivery" supposed to mean?
Is that basically saying +9 years of IT?
As a way of saying "if you've only been a programmer for 7 years - that's fine if you've also did 2 years of some other IT-related work"
Salary: $20 in total for all of this knowledge
