[DUG] Average Salary

[Jeremy North]

If you are looking to hire, I suggest you be prepared to pay for a good
one. Make sure you have a good test though, my experience is that there are
a lot of "guru", "expert", "senior" Delphi developers out there that are
absolutely useless. Drag and drop code zombies.

The last time we hired (about 15 months ago) we sifted through about 50
(sometimes questionable) resumes and interviewed 8. Three of those walked
out of the test at various stages (one read it and left - said we wouldn't
like the answer he would give WTF!) and the test wasn't super hard - I
wrote it :-) (we were looking to fill a senior level position). It isn't
always about completing the test, but having a candidate acknowledge they
don't know something is 400% better than them trying to talk around it and
guess.

At the end of the day, I don't consider any of the people I work with
"average" developers. I wouldn't like to work with average people.
