I added that last line about the Job Type. For that kind of money someone could choose a lot less stressfull job than building software for demandng assholes. Mid-level Wal-Mart flunkees make that kind of money with great benefits.
Anyone who takes that job is a loser or desperate or both. A college grad with five years experience who meets those requirements should be knocking down $75 K with good benefits or $50/hour on a contract basis. And that is the minimum.
I hope they hire someone who fucks their shit all up!
