I may be wrong, but I think what irks about the ad
is that they want a MANAGER for that salary level.
Not that it is an entry level position. At least
that is what bugs me.
You won't believe how many ads I have seen for technical
writer that are looking for lots of experience but
willing to pay pittance.
Or someone who is looking for a Technical Writer
to do clerical work.
