Hey Guys,
Just wanted some advice. I've got an interview for a job as a front-end developer at a company near Manchester. I got the interview through a job board on another design forum (through a recruitment consultant's post).
It all sounds a bit weird to me though. I've had interviews at other agencies for the same role and they offered around £16-20K. These guys are offering £25-28K which sounds too good to be true for a junior role.
Other issues I have:
Website is full of spelling errors and typographical errors. They're based on a trading estate, being a 'arm' of a company I can't find, not having an address on their website, having so many staff and yet no reputation on twitter etc.
Also if they do social web etc you'd think they would use twitter/forums etc to find candidates. They will have to pay the recruitment agency £4000 if they hire me.
And this copy on their site is obviously bull (not to mention hideous English):
Am I worrying about nothing or is something seriously afoot here? How can these guys pay 28K?
