Thanks to all for the comments. A few items of note:
This is definately not a contract or temp position. We are looking for
key players who will be forming a new team to create very high end
consumer products. The company is profitable, stable, growing, and
considered an excellent employer.
Salary these days for any good job is not fixed at "X". Sure, there are
paramaters that hiring managers deal with, but the salaries at this
client are quite competitive relative to other parts of the country and
even local competitors. I'm happy to speak with anyone about this, but
not go further in a post that will live in cyberspace forever.
There's not much I can do about the Boston weather, so if someone
really likes the climate in Arizona, Wyoming or Florida - this won't be
a good fit.
However, the quality of living in MA, and specifically in the area
where this job is located is really quite high. One can easily live in
one of the Western suburbs where the housing is more reasonably priced
and have a very short commute.
For the person who wants to go on for advanced coursework or other
educational opportunities, this opportunity can't be beat--- MIT,
Harvard, and dozens of other great academic centers of excellence are
here... and my client has incentive programs to pay for continuing
education.
We have the Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins; Major league culture: Museums,
Concerts, Theater (at NY quality with affordable prices!); access to
skiing in VT or NH, the coast of NH or Maine... and more.
I've lived in this area for about 15 years and have, in that period,
seen a dramatic improvement in the quality of life. The big dig is
nearly done, and getting places is much easier and quicker than ever.
What we are looking for are:
-- people with a really solid grasp of engineering concepts and
principles
-- people with a very strong educational background, coupled with
experience in the design of new consumer products...
-- people in search of a career, not just work for the moment.
Again, I'm happy to speak with, or network with anyone, and
appreciative for any leads.
