Call TekSystems. Apparently they need a job filled quick, contract-to-hire, $25 an hour.

I seem to remember somebody around here looking for a job lately, but I forget who it was... and that's damn easy work for $25 an hour. I guess the market is pretty good these days!

depends on what you consider easy..

if you are adding, deleting users, modding groups.. then yes easy.

building an entire SOX/PCI compliant structure from nothing is not.

$25 is kinda low for a contract position unless it's crazy over time (but then, that could also suck depending on the craziness).

I should have paid more attention to computers as a kid.

we aren't talking about senior level shit here man, we're just talking about building an automated backup system. $25 an hour is damn good for an entry level position in austin.

backups and active directory are 2 different things.

why write a backup system when you can just use netbackup, quickrestore, networker or backupexec?

25$ sounds good, but if you have to pay your own medical, it kinda blows.

the fact that you can even get on the internet, send email and post messages on a message board still puts you way ahead of most people.

besides.. computers get really fucking old when you sit in front of them 65+ hours a week, or every weekend for 5 weeks, starting sunday 10pm sat, and then going home 11am sunday.

ding ding ding

It's higher than the national average starting comp. sci salary, but whatever.

I know there's probably better ways than active directory to do this, but apparently that's what this company wants.

most likely a small shop.. startup trying to cut costs..

i give them 6 months before they go under.
