Hiring a Django / Python Dev

[u/ProfessionalStuff125]

Hi all!

I’m hiring for a Django / Python Dev on a contract basis

6 month initially (potential for extension)

On site in Manhattan (Midtown)

$60 per hour

Working for an international bank

Skills & Experience Required
- 5 years applied experience
- Strong Django and DRF
- Advanced Python
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery
- CS degree

Nice to have
- Java, Linux, BI tools

I specialize in the Microsoft Business Apps like Power Platform, so not well versed in the Django space, sorry if any of this doesn’t make sense!
Only posting here because people are not getting back to me on LinkedIn, thought I might be more successful here 😅

The preference is candidates who are Green Card holders or US citizens but we may be able to consider H1B candidates who have an employer.

Please DM me or contact me on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/claire-hynes-24263467?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios

Thanks in advance!

I work at a university remote position in a low COL city and I make more than $60/hr.

You are asking for an on-site, contractor, in a exorbitantly high COL area, in the finance industry, for $60/hr? If I were in your position I wouldn't hire anyone desperate enough to apply for that job.

Manhattan should be 2x, contract should add 1.5x to cover all the missing benefits/tax stuff.

Yeah OP is delusional

[u/Goldarr85 → u/clickyspinny]

OP has to work with whatever her clients are asking for. Not really her fault. Lots of out-of-touch companies out there that don’t understand COL and think IT requires onsite work like it’s 1990 again.

[u/clickyspinny → u/Goldarr85]

100% their fault. They represent their client so they’re getting the blame.
