[plug] Re: Companies using Linux around Perth

[Jonathan]

Thanks Adrian. iiNet were my preferred employer when I arrived here, as my last position was with an
ISP in Sydney. Unfortunately the salary was well below my expectations (the fruit and massages
weren't going to make up the difference ;)... ).

Does anyone on the list work for iiNet or has worked for them in the past? I'm curious as to why
they're always advertising for engineers, when they have acquired some ISPs with very good engineers
already working for them. Maybe they just don't want to relocate?

Thanks to the people who replied off-list too.

Jonathan
