[LRUG] [JOBS] ruby dev for an london based internet startup lovethis

Mon Jul 2 04:00:52 PDT 2012

Hi Stuart,

Looks like you're looking for permanent staff, what sort of package are you
offering? I know most of the time it's dependant on experience, maybe show
some perks and salary range. It seems very cold to have to ask this on an
initial email if there was some interest. I'm sure a lot of readers here
would like to know the same.

Thanks, Ken
