Pfah... I'd be right pleased were I never to have grounds to respond to a
head-hunting posting with my boilerplate e'er again.  In fact, a couple of
cost-of-living calculators show this to be what some might consider a
right decent rate.

Depends on the region.  If it is in Arizona, West Virginia or one of
the other southern states, it would be a great rate.  But if it is in
New York City or any major city in California, it is almost pauper
wages.  Personally, I'd take a pay cut if I were ti take that
position.

And notice it says up to 70K with benefits per year.  Are the benefits
included in the 70K or are they added on?  How long does it take to
get "up to" 70K?  What are the chances of making more than 70K?
Someone plese apply for this position and ask those questions and
report back.

Thank you.

My apologies for not making myself clear.  I used the cost-of-living
calculators to translate the rate from Columbia, MO to a rate in
Manhattan, NY or Washington, DC... and the translated equivalent was the
'right decent rate', not the absolute dollar-figure quoted.

It is my experience, Mr Wiegand, that a salary quoted 'with benefits' has
always been '(salary amount quoted) in addition to benefits', eg
'ALL260,000 with benefits' results in wly payments of something rather
close to ALL5,000 (based on a 52-w year).
