Many thanks in advance for passing this on for me. As I mentioned, I'm looking for a very senior, very strong Linux (Red Hat) SA. My client is one of the largest financial firms here in the city and for this role, they're willing to pay market rate. They need someone who comes from a Unix background, they specifically mentioned that they didn't want someone from a Windows background, unless its from back in the early nineties. I take that to mean they want a super senior hardcore Red Hat admin. Running off of an Oracle DB with excellent troubleshooting skills, someone who can help architect a new environment in an environment that is currently running about 120 servers on the outside and still growing. Websphere, Veritas, with SAN, NAS on Linux. As I'm not a fan of beating around the bush, it is a three month contract with the possibility of going full time. Would be great for someone looking to get their foot in the finance door. I'm ballparking the salary at $100 - 120/ hr. The hiring manager said that he would pay for the seniority and skill, so market rate for the skill level. I really appreciate this, George, if ever I can help just let me know.
