Who wants to hire this guy ?

We have been doing hiring at Wirkle from some time and once you start landing into a services business, hiring is a constant phenomneon. But one good thing with services business (if you are developing products with other startups) is that you have smart sharp teams working in a charged environment and you work hard and have a constant challenge.

Today we got a funny email from a funny guy:

Forwarded email (credentials of the person are kept confidential) :
I would like to explore opportunities to establish
employment relationship with wirkle.
My brief introduction-
Name: XXX
Education: B.Tech.(IT) from a good institute (but not an IIT)
Current Employer: some big software consultancy firm
Job Philosophy: Optimize ratio of input and output
1.Work ex- More than 1.5 Years
2.Current CTC - 4lacs (expected to be 6.5+1 after
promotion in April or June)
3.Expected CTC - 10 to 12 (According to job profile
offered and company profile, Flexible and Negotiable)
4.Earliest joining date - (Max 3 Months from
offer,Flexible towards lower end)
So this email is Funny because, I don't know what this guy expects but I guess guys like these are interested more in money than in work. Startups need sincere dedicated guys and I have seen guys technically more sound who just love their work. Normally in startups I would like to have guys who have put in lot of self-initiative, contributed to open source projects and are community people rather than just being money driven. My advice to guys like this is - join some other area like real estate - you might make much more money in that than being a software engineer!!!

So if someone has a requirement and wants to hire this guy, let me know!!
