Searching for full-time remote position...

[Rick_Delphi 14]

I'm looking for a full-time remote Delphi developer position. I'm interested in something challenging. Startups are OK. If you have an open position, call me between 8am and 8pm ET in the US, at this phone number: 724-992-8695. I'm good with being part of a team or I can be the sole developer. I've created software products, from scratch, as sole developer in the past. I would also be interested in working on in-house systems that are not sold as products. I've used Delphi since version 1 and have experience with many different database systems.

I'm no longer looking. I am officially walking away from software engineering. I wish everyone the best.

[Anders Melander 1638]

P.S. Good luck with the writing

I looked for about two months. Everyone was beating me up on salary. I'm gonna' try to move up. I just can't take the low wages thing, it's depressing.

The big problem here is that there is no detail. There should be a cv or a link to a linkedin profile.

Well, they just had a news segment that criminals are pulling tricks just by using the information on a resume. So, I do provide my resume but it's after I've talked with someone in the company.

Is that in part because of the cost of healthcare in the US?

Yes, that's part of it. I've heard others say they are paying - $2,600+/month.

 

Also, in the US, inflation is running rampant. They say it's at just a few percentage points increase, but gas is 2x what it cost just a couple years ago. Eggs were $0.89/dozen and now they are $3+ per dozen. Milk was $1.89 per gallon, now it's $3.69+ per gallon. It's a nightmare.

Golden socialism. It was almost stable there 
Irony of course.

thanks COVID-19 + insane 2TRI pack + 2K/mo ... who's pay it?

Word of the year in Norway: "Krympflasjon" - i.e. "Shrinkflation".

A general principle where the price stays the same, but what you get for that price is less. 

Example: A pack of ham at 150g / $3 becomes a 120g / $3 pack. 

It is of course the same as inflated prices, but the businesses are trying to hide the fact.

 

Food is more expensive, but not as bad as those US examples.  Gas is  up, but down from the top this spring. 

Electricity is ridiculously expensive, thanks to a silly guy with a stupid invasion plan further east.

 

However - on the bright side - we need more IT people!

Unfortunately, Delphi is not the most sought-after experience.  But still - there are a many jobs available in IT here in Norway.

Yeah, we got it for several years already. 0.9l milk, 900g rice, even 9-egg pack.

And finally what I consider the absolute evil - 0.4l beer!
