Hi Ken
Thanks for the feedback. As you say salary and equity really depends on the individual and what they bring to the party.
But in an effort to help people i expect to pay in range of 45K-65K and equity is something people earn into after an initial period (e.g. 12 weeks).
Many thanks
Stuart

It connects you with your friends via your existing social groups, including Facebook and email; and makes it easy to give and get recommendations via the web, mobile phone and Twitter.
