Fwd: [Perl Jobs] Junior Perl Developer (onsite), New York, NY, USA

Hello,

You might want to review this posting.=20

Over the past six weeks, I've been going through the interview/hiring proce=
ss with NET-A-PORTER.  An offer was extended, pending final signature, last=
 week to lead their US development team, but they pulled out after attempti=
ng to renegotiate an agreed upon salary.  NET-A-PORTER informed the recruit=
ing company that they were pulling out of the US market for at least a year=
 on Tuesday (6 Dec.)  I emailed both companies yesterday (7 Dec.) regarding=
 my understanding of the situation, and I just got off the phone with the r=
ecruiting company and they informed me that the same thing happened to the =
two other Perl programmers assembled for the team.  NET-A-PORTER has not ye=
t responded; and, based on the conversation I just had, I don't expect it. =
 If anyone has any questions, the recruiting company offered to discuss any=
 direct inquiries regarding this situation.=20

I will be writing up a more detailed outline about my experience with NET-A=
=2DPORTER and post that to the london.pm list, but figured this should be l=
ooked into before anyone else gets suckered.
