This site is broken on an iPad...scrolling doesn't work at all

It's also extraordinarily difficult to read in Chrome/Windows. http://i.imgur.com/RL9gB.png

Thanks for pointing that out. We switched over to Middleman from Wordpress and we're slowly building it out custom as we go. We get in a little work here and there in our spare time, but I think you've pointed out that we've got a ways to go before it works well all around.

Thanks for the heads up!

Senior Developers: "Most use backbone.js" Junior Developers: "Learning their way around Javascript and Rails of Python" ... is this a joke? edit - Written before superKinz explanation below. It makes sense when placed in the proper context.

Wasn't a joke, just a miscommunication internally. =)

Thanks for calling it out early.

Typo at https://grouptalent.com/learn/employers/ "Our Fee All cost estimates inlcude our 20% fee."

I feel like I should be paying you guys for helping us out so much. =) Thanks for finding that, fix being deployed right now!

$120 / hour based on some rates I saw on website, now should I charge at 15 minute or hour long intervals.. :)

I'm not sure what you based your $209k number on, since you don't cite an average hourly rate. However, its not terribly surprising. Full cost of an employee is usually estimated at 2-2.5x salary, so on an average of $93k salary, the hourly rate must be about what one would expect.

Full cost of employee means salary, benefits, physical space, equipment, social security, etc. Also worth noting that its unusual for developers to work more than 48 weeks out of the year; not sure if you took this into account.

Hey guys, I just want to clear up some confusion that we didn't see coming - The infographic was meant to represent the developers using GroupTalent back in July. I think folks got a little confused when we started drawing comparisons to the industry as a whole. Sorry about that! We've removed the misleading parts to avoid any further confusion. Thanks!

Sorry for the off-topic. I was rejected by your review process more than 14 days ago. I've then sent you an email asking on clarification and my reasons why I think I should be approved. But I haven't got anything back from you guys. Do you have any guidelines I could read on what you expect from freelancers?

I'm just confused as I have plenty of experience under my belt and I could tackle almost any problem you throw at me.

People that use average to describe the middle of non-symmetric distributions are dumb.

Thanks for the help here on this one! Dumb people will now know just how dumb they are before making misinformed assumptions. Really helpful.

Don't you read anything that patio11 or tptacek write? You're supposed to charge by the day! :-)
