Genuine? Honours degree for R300k?

no.

 

[phiber]

How can you expect a linux admin to code in all these languages?

• experience with C, C++, Java, MySQL, PHP and Python programming (these skills will be tested);

 

[patrict]

The expectations on this listing are completely unrealistic, and that's before comparing it to the remuneration offered...

You get what you pay for though I suppose

 

[Galactica]

It's the norm these days. The candidate must be able to cook, clean, babysit, do the gardening, help the kids with homework, do shopping, pay accounts, give massages, fix the appliances when they malfunction, do the plumbing (these skills will be tested) etc.

Should change heading to programmer with excellent Linux skills

 

[eye_suc]

Wow, I would love to meet the people able to do all of that and willing to earn what is offered. So, open source = slave labour?

EDIT: These skills - they run their own company and make people do the work for them, why would any one work for some one with level Asian skills.

This is ridiculous. How do we learn and gain experience in all this. Do literally 3 positions and get paid 300k p/a. Plus it is total cost to company so taxations and bla bla bla. I want to leave the I.T industry

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

This is basically what I do for our company, plus I have other duties.

Pay is about the same as this (no benefits though), I don't have any formal qualifications though.

 

[Lupus]

They want to pay someone with a degree, 3 years work experience and the relevant programming skills 300k a year? Yeah that's not going to happen
