I had a really cool job opportunity to implement cool technology in a novel field but I rejected it for two reasons:

1) My immediate manager was dressed in incredibly expensive clothing in the interview, 2) He said we didn't need Linux, we could afford to use Mac.

I'll never forget a guy trying to headhunt with:

"Do you see this watch? Genuine rollex. Do you know what it feels like to own one? Probably not, because you don't work for me yet, so you can't afford one".

Was he sent by Mitch and Murray?
Was the pay terrible too? As a Mac is a lot cheaper than a developer.
It was pretty good for the field, which is not software development.
