[Baypiggies] Moving to the Valley

[David Pokorny]

Hi Alexandre,

There are many opportunities at Slide besides the position I posted, so I'd 
encourage you to check them out. In fact the tools position is pretty flexible 
- even if it looks too entry-level, Slide is *very* happy to make competitive 
offers commensurate with a candidate's skills and experience. Posted positions 
are more of a "minimum required" than a "target".

In fact I think it is safe to say that flexibility in hiring is pretty much 
the rule at smaller companies and start-ups.

Welcome and good luck,
--David
