I work for a software company who develops/sells enterprise web apps. We're in downtown Chicago (very close to Union station, so suburbanites can hop the train in), and are looking for the following:
I'd be more than happy to answer any questions about these and forward on more detailed job descriptions via PM or email. I don't think we currently offer relocation $$$, but I'm not a recruiter. Maneki Neko fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Jul 6, 2009 |

brc64 posted:This seems pretty in line with what the recruiter told me, since she specifically asked me what hourly rate I was looking for. Does this also mean that, should the company decide to hire me, I'll have to negotiate a pay rate all over again? I have limited experience (only done contract to hire once), but all the permanent salary negotiation then came after I had been working contract for a while. They offered me a full time position with a 20-30% pay cut (saying that contractors generally make more), which I declined. I stayed on contract while they tried to figure out what they wanted to do, and ended up finding a new job after a few months because I got the feeling it wasn't really going anywhere. Depending on the recruiter, if they're from a big recruiting agency, they should generally have benefits you can purchase in that interim period.

brc64 posted:I wish I had known that, because I got all excited when the recruiter said the estimate I gave for how much I wanted to make sounded good. I guess I should have aimed higher. Just to clarify, the ones trying to lowball was the company I was working for, not the recruiting agency. The recruiting agency wasn't involved at all, but they usually do get a lump sum for contract buyouts (which could have been where that 20-30% went to).

traveling midget posted:Contractors are typically paid more because their taxation rate is much higher.. before you dismiss a 'lower' salary, take that into consideration. I've never run into anyone who was 1099ed as a contract to hire, it's just a matter of who is cutting your paycheck.

I work for a software company in downtown Chicago and we're looking for some additional folks on our enginering/operations team (we're a SaaS/ASP software company, so we've got plenty of infrastructure). Our tech stack is all Microsoft (with some Unix boxes doing things like mail, dns, etc), and we're a couple blocks from Union Station. These are senior level positions, so if you're looking for a change in Chicagoland, holler. I don't think they've been posted to our web site yet so I don't have fancy pantsy job descriptions, so I'm just winging it below based on bullet points in a powerpoint I saw, if you have any questions drop me a PM: Senior Windows Systems Engineer: 5+ years experience VMWare experience would be nice SAN/NAS experience SQL experience would be nice Senior SQL Server DBA: BS/BA + 5-7 years experience 5+ years DBA experienec in production environment SSIS/SSRS/SSAS Performance tuning Application Support Engineer: 5+ years supporting asp.net applications Strong Windows Server/SQL Server knowledge ESM Engineer: Bachelors in CS 7+ years experience programming/script experience SQL Monitoring tool experience: openview, scom, netcool, etc. (apparently if you are a wizard that might also help)

I wouldn't mind doing helpdesk/cable running/basic stuff you can pass off to a newbie, and I'd be fine with doing it for low-pay/free if need be. I learn fast and I get along with everyone just fine.

brc64 posted:Thanks for that. It was very helpful. It sounds like contract-to-hire or employment agencies are more my speed, at least for the time being. That said, how can you tell if an employment agency is shady or not? The recruiter said that they did offer some benefits, but admitted that they were fairly weak. I imagine it's probably going to depend somewhat on your local office if you're looking at one of the bigger companies. I did some work for TekSystems in the past and had a really good experience. Most of the really shady ones I've dealt with the past were pretty obviously shady when I walked through the door. Bait and switch with job postings,doing business under a bunch of different names, etc.

I work for a SaaS company in Chicago (downtown in the loop), and we've got an open position for a Security Analyst. This is a new position, because our current security person has way too much to do. Here's the generic listing (some of these may be more of a "wish list", let me know if you're interested and I can answer questions/pass along more details. I believe this is more of a audit/policy type position vs someone who's going to be elbow deep in a firewall 8 hours a day. Summary The person in this position must possess a detailed knowledge of the business, as well as information security expertise, to develop and implement security plans appropriate to the level of risk the enterprise faces. The security analyst is a key member of the information security team and works closely with the Director of the Information security to develop and implement a comprehensive information security program. Required Technical Qualifications
Duties and Responsibilities
Desired Characteristics
Education Bachelor's in IT systems, security or related field Experience 7+ years of professional experience Certificates & Licenses Preferred candidates will have one or more certifications in Security/Networking including Security+, GSEC, GCIA, GCIH, CISSP or other security specific vendor/product certifications
