    Another fishing attempt?

    Can anyone spot what might be wrong in this job spec:

    Oracle consultant required to join my client in Palma this role is going to kick off on Monday so the details are minimum at the moment, sorry.

    As a Oracle consultant you will have to have an in depth knowledge of Oracle and Legacy.

    Duration 3 months +
    Rate £100-£1k/Day + Accommodation + Flights
    I think this might just be a CV gathering exercise.

    It's paying in pounds instead of Euros?

            Sentinel are normally OK and I spoke to Tom a few times a couple of years ago and he seems straight enough.

            I assume they are desperate to fill and have left the rate wide open on purpose.

              My gut reaction says these two roles are kosher, related and with the same client.

                I like the "in depth knowledge of Oracle and Legacy" - legacy what??

                Might chase it tomorrow and see whether he knows what the role actually is.

                  Listening to the Linux admins and the open source-compliant programmers these days, I think Oracle is legacy now.



                  You heard it here first. Possibly.
