After having a conversation with Brian Goldfarb (ASPNET Product Manager), I have better insight into these jobs below.

This is a part of a study to research developer productivity.

What is it? A contract job – it is not a long-term, full-time job. How much do I get paid? I won’t quote the terms here, but if you are interested, you should apply. I will say it probably averages around $50/hr. That’s it? Yeah, but they pay for all T&E: travel, a place to stay (this is not local to any of you), food, etc. How long is it for? They tell me about a week. What else do I get out of it? The chance to be a part of a really cool study, network with MS product team folks, free training, massive networking with others, and why not, a resume builder!

Seriously, this sounded like a really cool opportunity. It is essentially a productivity study. You will be provided with a completed spec and asked to build the application. The measurements will be based on completion and there will be several teams doing it. It really sounded like fun…and you get paid for it.

Right now they are really looking for VB6/classic ASP developers big time, but apply for the .NET ones too. The links are below…let’s get some southwest people applying! If you are an independent consultant, this is ideal if you can carve out the time.

Let me know if you have any questions…
