Mental notes to myself

It’s been quite while since my last post and just realized that, my last post was about the very same thing: Looking for PHP gurus.

You are:
- Living in or around Montreal – No relocation or telecommute for now, sorry…
- A PHP and Javascript Guru with at least 3+ years of hands on experience
- Available in about a month
- Looking for a real technical challenge on a high traffic e-commerce website – I’m talking about 100M+ PV

This is a permanent position at a reputable Montreal company of 15 years.
The compensation is well above the market to consider to make you ditch your current boring job in a blink of an eye.
PS: Refer someone and we hire him/her there is a $1,000 for you for your hard work!

Please send in your cv’s to harunyayli _at_ gmail dot com.
