It's a job thing for Fahim. Anyone have any idea what the going rate is for vantive programmers? Anyone know where I can find out?

Don't know. High-level Seibel integration designers went for about $250 an hour (loaded) in the DC area about 3 years ago, developers about half that.

Again, these were fully loaded rates charged by consulting firms, not salaries.

What is vantive? I googled and it looks like something to do with PeopleSoft, but I didn't see anything that explained it.

Fahim says it's a corporate rapid application development environment using oracle or cybase as the backend and vbscript to handle the front end interactions.

Whew! I only had to get him to repeat bits of that once! I'm getting better at this gobbledegook!

Oh, that makes perfect sense. It sounds like WebObjects (except WebObjects uses Java instead of vbscript). And I know WebObjects programmers get paid tons of money since there are so few of them. (The iTunes Music Store and the Apple Online Store are both written in WebObjects)

I came across a site recently http://www.programmingfromhome.com/ which costs $40 a year for the programmer to register with to find remote programming jobs.

Does anyone have any experience with that site? Alernately, does anyone know of any other sites with real job leads for remote programmers?

Remote programming would be ideal for Fahim as he'd get paid a whole lot more than any job that's available in this country and better than working as a sysadmin for a domain hosting company, which he's doing now.

If you want to look at Fahim's resume, you can check it out at http://geek.farook.org/resume.htm although I just noticed that he hasn't updated it in a while, so it doesn't reflect the sysadmin work he's done for domain hosters.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. [Smile]

I'd much prefer a VCR programming job, myself.
