Nothing seems to contradict what anyone has said about this job:

* "It is true that I am paid below market value"

* "If I had had to apply for the job with the presently listed requirements, I might not have gotten the offer."

* "Depending on the project load, I might spend 8 hours at the office and call it good, or I might stay til 10-midnight consistently for a couple weeks."

Just because the person who currently does the job feels this is a great thing and all the people applying for the job feel it's a great thing doesn't make it great.

I guess I'm old and tired of my peers devaluing their own skills and time.
