The Indians are lying in the weeds now. They no longer ring my phone off the hook with offers of immediate and preposterous employment. This may be because I haven't updated my resume on all the online posting services. Or possibly hiring managers have gradually grown wise to their antics.
I still get e-mail "offers" however. Here's the latest. It requires 10+ years of experience with Ruby on Rails and AJAX (both of which have been around for about three years). That should trim down the applicant pool.
Oh, and you've got to move to Atlanta. Good to know.
Note the area code. That's the usual area code these characters use, 732. No address is given, but we appear to be in the swamp-and-stripmall wilderness of northern New Jersey. I imagine a switch room slightly larger than a broom closet, barely enough to establish a postal address and landline, and hold whatever equipment is necessary to route the phone calls from the boiler room in India.
