[AusNOG] Job: Head of Network Operations - NEXTDC - SydneyC

[Skeeve Stevens]

This is an excellent conversation, for employers to know and consider, and
to engineers know that there are options out there.

Something I'd also recommend to some engineers... consider timesharing...
I.e. working part time for two or three people - at normalish wages, not
contracting hourly wages... a good way to create yourself a fulltime job.
Just don't over-contend yourself, and make sure the engagement with your
employers is clear (priorities, etc).

I'd seriously consider a part-time person in some other locations in
Australia, if I wasn't going to be paying contractor rates.

Btw... I'm not trying to get 'cheap' people, I am just saying that most
employers don't want to pay contractor rates on a long term basis.

I also employ one guy on a 40 hours per month basis... he isn't required
for operational work much, and just has a list of tasks to do, and I pay a
normal - about a quarter of a full-time person.
