[Mich the Tester]

Having just been turned down for a Test Management role on the grounds of being 'too senior' (read; expensive), I see that the same clientco is hiring a 'Junior Technical Project Management Support Assistant'.

Is there a conspiracy to waste money instead of hiring competent people?

Perhaps all they wanted was a 'Junior Technical Project Management Support Assistant'. Making coffee at the office isn't all it's cracked up to be.

No, but I'd do it for 75 euros per hour.

Your OP implied they had a bit less in mind.

I can't make coffee.

Yes, but it's real name is probably something like bonus protection scheme, oops sorry, I mean shareholder value.
