- Ability to manage a team
- Ability to work under deadlines/pressure
- Sense of teamwork
- Decent English skills

Not required, but definite assets:

- Spanish
- Loves to drink and party :winkwink:

If you think you have what it takes, hit me up on ICQ at 520468 or by email at varius AT manacr.com

Good luck :thumbsup

Do you need someone that tells everyone else what to do? Or maybe just someone hang out and tell all the other employees that they are doing a great job?

Damn nice opportunity for the right person.

H O T!!!!!!!!

Can I just move to Costa Rica and run SatanCash out of your office :)

would be fun

How long is the contract for? Are there possibilities of being taken on as a full-time employee?

IS here anyone from costa rica at this forum?

Keith ill come down for a few months , get the hookers ready.

nice opportunity for someone :thumbsup

There is - I'm one. There are at least ten GFY regulars operating from Costa Rica here - WarChild, he-fox, Fris and of course, the IWantU team.

Good luck on getting the right person Keith!

good luck finding the right person...

not CR, but a bordering country - Panama.... which you know is better than Costa Rica :tongue:

anyway.. this is a great opportunity! CR is a great place and Iwantu team take care of their employees

awesome opportunity Varius!!! Good luck in finding the right employee!! :)

Hot and tempting offer, but the he-fox is heading south in march... besides this, i will never-ever work for anybody, even if it's IWantU, on of the best company's out there.

The guy/girl who will take this chance, will have the time of his/her life here. Pura Vida:thumbsup

Not sure about Fris, but fuzebox and AdultInsideCloner, plus a part RogerV's team certainly work here.

Shit.. my bad! You're correct - mean't fuzebox :winkwink:

Job is full-time and we'd like you here for as long as possible.....initial contract would be 1-2 years though, preferably 2 :)

If you can tell them they are all doing a great job and you're not lying to them, then you are doing your job right! :winkwink:

They were born ready - almost literally :1orglaugh

There is more than one available opening as well....we're looking for at least 1 who can handle the project manager role, and then those as well who may only want to be a senior programmer and not worry about managing others.

humm is CR a good place to hide from the IRS :1orglaugh

Luckily us Canadians don't even need to hide, long as we declared non-residency to Canada any money we make here we can bring back no problems :)

For you Americans, there are a lot of 'loopholes' and methods that many lawyers here are familar with setting up :thumbsup

Not a good idea crockett :winkwink:

Annual filings are still required, irrespective of where ya may live - BUT, there is approx $70K allowance for foreign residency.

It is also fair to say that any funds brought into the country from "whatever sources" is not taxable in Costa Rica - think on it :pimp

meowooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

True - same with most countries - and a big bonus :thumbsup

great deal for someone :)

Btw i have skills for the job but i dont fell ready for relocating(unless someone will specialy request)

Are you guys in San Jose? Just curious.

Oh I thought of it.. I just want to hide from what I owe now.. me and the IRS just don't see eye to eye. :helpme

Sounds like a kitten thinking about an extra milk carton? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Scratch the programming knowledge requirement (I can do everything else on the list and then some), kick in a six figure salary and I'm there. :1orglaugh

Drink and party? Us? Never.....



I cant remember the last time I was at a party...or maybe the drinking did have something to do with that :upsidedow

Good chance for some people here, great place to be fore sure!

Can sure see your point man :winkwink:

Prob involves some major action and can be complex, depending on the obstacle course which others may wish to pursue. Also depends what you want to do etc and whether the effort is worth it.

Just off the cuff, it suggests relinquishing citizenship and taking up another (possibly in CR, Panama or a Euro country) where there are no problems with foreign residency and no applicable taxation in the "home country".

One of the poss main problems may be if you are a US citizen resident abroad - there is a check with IRS records when it comes to passport renewal and a passport may be delayed until a resolution is found with the IRS. (Not sure they can refuse a passport if you are a US citizen, but chances are you may get the indictment papers along with it :) )

It may be a clue to speak with a US trained lawyer not resident in the US with some experience of these problems. Can think of some qualified lawyers who may be worth chatting with if this could help - tho who knows if they will find an actual solution.

About 10 minutes outside San Jose, in San Pedro. Near all the universities :)

I'd love to be on the beach instead, but it would be harder to hire employees there than in the city, and no one would ever want to do any actual work :1orglaugh

True, probaly all will just sit on beach and drink exotic cocktails

Should I be offended :(

For some reason it's not the first time we've been confused for each other.

He-he, I'm at walking distance from you.

sweet deal for a php guru !

change of latitudes...change of attitude ; )

Na.. it's my withered brain cells deteriorating even further :winkwink:

Damn, this is incredibly tempting.. I might have to hit you guys up. :thumbsup

Even though CR's not quite as good as Panama...it' still damn good and IWantU is an awesome team.

If you've got the skills to pay the bills, JUMP ON THIS!

Too bad you guys aren't looking for a designer. I lived in CR for a few years but moved back to Canada for better paying jobs. I got tired of working for sportsbooks. haha

Well, I've got the "loves to drink and party" part down. Am I hired?

KEITH!!!! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOO THERE!!!!:thumbsup




if it weren't for my lack of tech skills:winkwink:


and the decent English part is debatable also:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh



So BUMP for the awesome position!!!:pimp

temting tempting:) and I make good coffee

i hope you find the right person! :thumbsup

Well if a drunken kareoke master position opens up anytime soon you'll be first one our list :thumbsup :pimp

We've received some good applicants so far - keep em coming!
