I came *that* close to putting in for a development job there about two or three years ago, until I put a few feelers out and the feedback came back uniequivocally negative...cots in the back was the dealbreaker. Did something kinda like that a few years ago at one shop, realized I was ridiculously naive about what I was promised in terms of workgroup staffing, and ended up writing an entire project by myself. Not gonna do THAT again...

My current job isn't the sexiest, but I've got a great boss, I have absolutely regular hours, a pension plan, employer-matched savings, and am home to be with my family every night. Hard to put a price on that.
