    Been offered a role that I'm going to sub...

    Got offered a role the other day for a Linux/Virtualisation Administrator to join the client's team on a 12 month contract basis, where I'd would be required to work from home at a rate of £75/hour.

    In order to qualify, they require individuals with the following skillset:

    At least 4 years experience in Red Hat Linux
    At least 2 years experience in VMWare and Virtualization Technologies
    At least 2 years experience in IT Security Compliance
    At least 2 years experience in system management/monitoring tools
    At least 2 years experience in operating systems services (NTP, DNS, SMTP)


    Now I haven't a clue about any of those, so I decided to email a few guys and offer them it at £15/hour. Is that about right for commission?
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Make sure you only mail the bottom feeders. The pro guys won't be interested.

        I started at the bottom and am working my way up.


        ...BTW according to the read receipt, you took longer to open the mail than several of the others.

            Don't they sanction your benefits if you take that kind of attitude?

              Can you offshore the work? I reckon a few bobs would do it for 15p an hour.

                    its easier in the NLUK household since the Tory majority is back, though they do get through a lot of oranges
