FYI, I was told this needs to be posted in pgsql-general(at)postgresql(dot)org simply because the jobs mailing list does not let you reply keeping the mailing list in loop. I expect a answer from experts on this. I find this particular job ad to be very offensive in terms of an expectancy from any person looking for job. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sujit K M <kmsujit@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, May 6, 2015 at 8:04 PM Subject: Re: [pgsql-jobs] PostreSQL Engineer and DBA!

But the list of want to have's are far too many. I would like to know your justification for these. Please remember when you look for candidates there should be fair deal of integrity and clarity to what you want to achieve. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
