>Location: Must be a number greater than 0

Locations shouldn't be limited to numbers. Also, now that the salary field is limited to numbers, it should be clear which currency everything should be converted to, since people can't put their currencies in the column anymore.

Pretty crappy that "Gender" is a two-choice radio button. Literally gender binary.

My mistake. Fixed.

I'm sorry, how exactly was it fixed? Now I can mark 'Other', but as a gender-fluid this really should be more a slider

Sorry, should work now.

So change it to "Sex" or "Human Biological Sex". One is a useful metric delineating two physiologically and psychologically different halves of human biology determined by your DNA. The other is a pretty useless personal opinion about "what do I feel like inside?". I'm happy for you feeling your new invented gender (bisexual-wolf-bear spirit??) to replace our old invented genders, but it doesn't say shit about your biology.

Sorry, I should have started with a trigger warning.

And now I'm being downvoted by pro-Trump bigots

$122K in RDU seems very high for a developer/engineer, strange.

It is high, but it depends on experience and who they work for. More common for people with 5-7yr experience is in the 90-110k range, but it's not abnormal to find skilled folks at places like SAS, Cisco, Citrix, Redhat, MS, Lenovo, BASF, IBM, NetApp, and many more earning above mean salaries.

Source: live in RDU, was an engineering director until last summer, hired lots of people here over the years and know a bunch more. What's disturbing is the number of companies only hiring contractors or contract-to-hire engineers around here.
