The story suggests two possibilities: (1) it was transparently obvious to the hiring team that the position was 6 months on a DOA project at a laughable salary no qualified employee would consider, or (2) the people doing the hiring were faking it right alongside the OP.

- mst 5y agoI think I got my first programming job because the interviewers noticed I was smart and driven and figured I'd be cheap enough they could afford to give me a go. That company was less dysfunctional than the one in the article, admittedly, although arguably not by much.
- HeyLaughingBoy 5y agoHaha. I know that was why I got my first job because the senior engineer told me about a year later. They figured I'd stay long enough to get some use out of me before I realized that I was underpaid. Joke's on them though. I liked the job so much I didn't care that I was underpaid :-(
- mst 5y agoI was perfectly happy with being underpaid until I had a CV with enough experience on it to get a better paid job, and because I was cheap they let me do a lot of experimenting and learning. Mutually advantageous overall :D
