Wow. Sounds like you are getting a bargain! What’s your billing rate again?

Is that 31$ / hour ? Jeez, that’s a bit low, isn’t it ? Plumbers earn more where I live …
Is it 31K ? I wouldn’t consider it either (and I’m not even coming close to your requirements :-)) So good luck in your headhunt !
cheers,
Tom
Subject: Perhaps you should move to India or Pakistan …
Possibly you can find there some people that high skilled that want to work for that amount of money …
As Tom mentioned : for $30/hour, you can pay a skilled handyman (without any degree) around here …
Subject: RE: Perhaps you should move to India or Pakistan …
Of course there it’s more like $10/hr. Never thought I’d feel an urge to go union 
Gotta emphasize our better customer service.
Subject: RE: Perhaps you should move to India or Pakistan …
As a foreigner with a non-technical degree, I doubt if a union would do anything except get me unemployed all that quicker. 
I don’t want to degenerate this into a political discussion, but I’ve noticed that the harder it becomes to bring foreign workers to the US, the more jobs leave the US. I’m reminded about an old LBJ maxim about tents and urination.
Cheers!

For what it’s worth, in Atlanta (which is lower cost than Denver I believe), you’re going to be looking at around 55-65k SALARY in order to get a mid-upper level Domino developer with the requisite experience. That’s not including the C-level experience and Masters’ degree.
In some senses, this reminds me of a company in Atlanta that was looking for someone with heavy-duty C++ API and internal Notes experience for 70k two years ago - I had a friend diplomatically tell them that the three dozen folks that met that bill were either working for Iris for more money, or had their own companies and were making more.
I’d suspect that the people you want either a) demand more money, or b) have moved out of the Domino sphere and into something with better career prospects.
Cheers!
