As I recall, the hightest pay for the semi-manager Ada programmer there was about $40K. If Ada jobs in Chicago were so hot, then the jobs would be filled without advertising in Chicago or any other major city (which is not the case). In other words, the Paul Morris Bucket Shop Agency in New Jersey would have filled the jobs long ago and been the first to take the commission. When I was contacted the sub-contractor doing initial screening did not have accurate or detailed job descriptions, did not know the exact term of the assignment, and did not know if the "company" would pay for moving from another city.
