Incase he never comes back...

401K means this is in the US I think.  I'm Canadian and all the American employees in my company are on the 401K program.

Going on the assumption that this is American, the Salary is probably 40-70k US depending on location for 3-5 years experience.  With a 401K, this would be a full-time salary, not a contract with a rate.

All deduction and guesstimation, so I may be wrong.

Based on it being in a America, where would be the key. America, I hear, is quite a big place.

Welll, most people on the board aren't American, so knowing the job is in America will be enough for most people.

But ya, a city would be nice.

Oops, sorry for the omission.  We are located in San Francisco, about 1-1/2 blocks from the SBC Ballpark.  Salary is dependent on experience.
