Hi group,

I just found this ad

Industry: IT

Skills: This large systems house is looking for someone who has
excellent client facing skills along with a good solid background in
developing/supporting business systems on Pick (Universe/ Unidata)
platforms. Good career progression. Interesting and varied projects

Senior Analyst, um, yea.

Patrick, <;=)

At least it is pounds not dollars. With the dollar as low as it is,
maybe we can pick up some "outsourcing" work from the Euro zone

With that location, wouldn't that 25K figure be UK Pounds?

That would be ~ $46,722.50 (US) according to Yahoo finance at the time
of this posting.

Still, $46,722.50 (US) sounds awfully low for a Senior Analyst - maybe
1/2 or even 1/3 of what it should be, depending on the duties and
expectations. And note, they did say "up to" meaning they are probably
hoping to get the slave for even less money! So sad!

And even though the US Dollar is gone down against the Pound, the prices

There's a big multi value house in Sheffield called EDP www.edp.co.uk
Looks as if it could be them.

There are quite a few MV houses in Sheffield... ourselves included...

More likely to be Sandersons with the requirement for Unidata/Universe
experience. They are what I would class as a 'big' software house.

EDP are Univision only (with a smattering of D3 customers resisting
the change).
