    The offer is from Bangalore, and $20 per hour there is the equivalent of $10k per month in US or Europe.

    @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.

    Better than a poke in the eye.

    @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.

    @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

    @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

    @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"
