Looking back you are right: I'm sorry. I was initially amused at the use of one technology over the other as being okay but I see your point. Thanks for responding and setting me straight that the reasons for doing so are important.

How expensive is it really? Maybe $15k to setup some walls? Let's sAy $30k as you will lose about 1/3rd the floor space. That's a one time cost. Amortize that out over a 5 year office lease and it is peanuts compared to the

I wouldn't limit it to recruiters ... some engineers see the word "QA" or "SDET" and think the guy isn't worthy of being a "real" software engineer, or if they do then it is at the lowest rung of the
