Well, I always ask nicely in private mail if it's unclear. e.g. in this case as I've done a compareable one as a telecommuter. Andreas -- Ursprüngl. Mitteil. -- Betreff: location, location... (RE: [pgsql-jobs] Senior PostgreSQL DBA for Etsy.com) Von: "George Pavlov" <gpavlov@mynewplace.com> Datum: 22.05.2007 15:43 Is the person in this position expected to work remotely, from any place in the world? Or is the company going to relocateto wherever the ideal candidate resides? What I mean to say is, PLEASE, PLEASE post a location for your job, preferrablyin the subject line. While there are a small (hopefully growing) number of jobs that are location-independentthe present reality is that most jobs are tied to a very specific spot... And if you are posting oneof those work-from-anywhere jobs that might be worth mentioning also! ________________________________ From: pgsql-jobs-owner@postgresql.org on behalf of Haim Schoppik Sent: Tue 5/22/07 05:52 AM To: pgsql-jobs@postgresql.org Subject: [pgsql-jobs] Senior PostgreSQL DBA for Etsy.com Etsy is seeking a bright and seasoned PostgreSQL DBA to be in charge of our databases.
